Relating to the sharing and protection of certain utility proprietary customer information.

SB 483 allows electric utilities to request basic customer contact information (name, phone, email, address) from retail electric providers without needing prior customer authorization, specifically for communicating about emergencies, service interruptions, or restoration. Retail providers must share this information within 48 hours of a request. The bill requires utilities handling this data to implement security measures like encryption and limits retention to only what's necessary for emergency communications. It directly affects retail electric providers, utilities, and customers by streamlining emergency contact sharing while mandating data security protections. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
