UTILITIES: Provides for transparency for utility bills

HB 913 requires housing providers in Louisiana who use third-party billing for utilities to give tenants access to original utility bills. The bill defines key terms like "housing provider," "tenant," and "individual meter," and applies specifically to residential units with separate meters for water, gas, or electricity. Tenants can request copies of past bills or future bills in writing, and providers must supply these documents within thirty days of receiving the request. This law aims to increase transparency by ensuring tenants can see the actual charges from utility companies, while clarifying that tenants remain responsible for paying their bills even if the provider fails to share the documents.
