Prohibits electric, gas, or water public utility service discontinuances to residential customers during certain epidemics.

This bill prohibits electric, gas, and water utilities from cutting off service to residential customers for nonpayment during a declared epidemic (e.g., during a Governor-issued public health emergency). It requires utilities to resume service as soon as possible to customers who lost service before the epidemic began, unless a "public utility emergency" (like immediate danger to life) exists. The prohibition ends when the Governor rescinds the public health emergency declaration. Customers remain liable for unpaid bills incurred during the epidemic but won’t face penalties until after the emergency ends. The law applies to all residential customers, including tenants in multi-unit buildings where the owner is a non-residential customer.
