An Act relative to smart meters
This bill requires utility companies to offer customers the choice between wireless "smart" meters and traditional electromechanical analog meters (which emit no radiofrequency radiation) at no additional cost. Customers can request a free switch to an analog meter and must provide written consent before wireless meters are installed or their functionality changed. Utilities are prohibited from cutting off service, charging fees, or discriminating against customers who choose analog meters, or who have medical conditions sensitive to radiofrequency emissions. The law also bans installing wireless "equivalent technology" near properties where customers request non-transmitting meters.
