HD 1961 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to utility bills

This bill requires water, electricity, and gas utility companies in Massachusetts to include a list of all available financial assistance discounts for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities on every customer bill. It applies to all utility providers covered under state law, including municipal water systems, electric/gas companies, and other regulated service providers. The key provision mandates that these discount options be clearly displayed directly on the billing statement, rather than requiring customers to seek information elsewhere. This change aims to make assistance programs more accessible by ensuring customers see relevant options at the point of billing.
