S 9835 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires gas and electric corporations to provide thirty days' notice to customers whenever there is a service rate or charge increase

This legislation mandates that gas and electric utility companies provide written notice to customers at least thirty days before any service rate or charge increases take effect. The public service commission would be required to enforce this notification rule for all affected customers. The notice must specify that the higher cost will begin after the thirty-day period concludes. Should the bill pass, the requirement would become effective immediately upon enactment.
