S 7075 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the imposition of a system benefits charge on ratepayers' utility bills

This bill prohibits New York's Public Service Commission from adding a "system benefits charge" to utility bills paid by ratepayers. It directly affects residential and business customers who pay electricity, gas, or water bills by preventing an additional surcharge from being imposed. The law requires the Commission to stop using this specific fee, which was designated as a "system benefits charge" on the effective date of the bill. The prohibition takes effect immediately upon enactment.
