Ban Reconnection Fees + Expand Shutoff Protections

Three consumer protections in one bill: (1) Utilities can't charge you a fee to turn your service back on after a shutoff. (2) Summer shutoff ban added — no disconnections June 21 through September 23. (3) Strengthens existing winter shutoff protections. If you've ever been hit with a $50+ reconnection fee after falling behind on a bill during a tough month, this is for you.
