Requires public utility to reimburse business customer during period when business ceases operations due to utility repairing or replacing its equipment on business customer's property.

This bill requires public utilities to reimburse business customers for financial losses when they must temporarily close operations due to utility repairs or replacements on the business's property. It directly affects commercial businesses receiving utility service, excluding losses during declared emergencies like storms or floods. The Board of Public Utilities determines reimbursement amounts based on business-provided documentation, and utilities cannot recover these costs through customer rates. The law excludes emergency events where service interruptions affect large customer groups or involve state/federal disaster declarations.
