An Act providing for public utility credit reporting; and imposing duties on public utilities.
This bill creates the Public Utility Credit Act to require public utilities in Pennsylvania to report customer credit information. It defines public utilities to include companies providing electricity, gas, water, transportation, and communications services, while excluding private cooperatives and certain internal building systems. The legislation mandates that these utilities maintain credit records and share them with other providers to help assess a customer's ability to pay for services. By establishing these reporting duties, the bill aims to improve credit assessment for utility accounts across the state.
