A bill for an act relating to certain charges for utility service.

SF 2308 prohibits Iowa utility companies from charging customers nonusage fees like meter fees, customer charges, or franchise fees. It requires utility bills to include only actual usage charges and late payment fees, banning all other charges. The bill applies to all public utilities providing water, electricity, and natural gas in Iowa, including smaller systems like rural water districts. The Iowa Utilities Commission must enforce these rules, review existing billing practices, and impose penalties for violations, including refunds to affected customers. This directly affects all Iowa utility customers by eliminating fees not tied to actual service consumption.
