H 3680 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to utility bills

This bill requires utility companies in Massachusetts to list available billing discounts for seniors, veterans, and persons with disabilities on every customer bill. Specifically, it mandates that water bills include this information, while electric, gas, and other regulated service bills must also display the list of discounts. The law aims to make financial assistance programs more visible to eligible residents by ensuring the details appear directly on their monthly statements.
