AN ACT CONCERNING OPTING OUT OF SMART METER PROGRAMS.
This bill (HB 5960) would allow residential electricity customers - homeowners and renters - to opt out of programs requiring smart meter installation. It directly affects anyone receiving residential electric service by giving them the right to refuse smart meters under current or future utility programs. The key mechanism is amending state statutes to explicitly permit this opt-out, removing barriers to declining the technology. The bill does not change utility requirements for those who choose to keep smart meters.
