Maddy summaryThis 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.

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals the requirement for businesses to pay sales tax in advance (known as "advance sales tax payments").

The repeal would eliminate this specific payment method, requiring businesses to pay sales tax only after completing sales instead of in advance.

Maddy summaryS 1994 (An Act relative to fairness in taxation) would require non-profit corporations with total assets exceeding $10 million (as reported in their financial statements) to pay property taxes on real property they own. This bill directly affects large non-profit organizations, such as major hospitals, universities, or charities, that meet the asset threshold. The key provision mandates these entities to contribute to local property tax revenue, aligning their tax treatment more closely with for-profit property owners. The bill aims to address perceived inequities in how non-profits contribute to local tax bases.
