Recognizing access to water, sanitation, electricity, heating, cooling, broadband communications, and public transportation as basic human rights and public services that must be accessible, safe, acceptable, sufficient, affordable, climate resilient, and reliable for every person.

HRES 1364 is a resolution recognizing access to water, sanitation, electricity, heating, cooling, broadband, and public transportation as basic human rights that must be accessible, safe, affordable, and climate-resilient for everyone. It specifically calls for banning utility shutoffs (including for nonpayment), ending predatory debt collection practices, and ensuring services are affordable based on income. The resolution also urges public control of utilities, prioritizes environmental justice communities for infrastructure investments, and requires utilities to report disconnection data by demographics and income. It directly affects all residents, with emphasis on low-income households and communities disproportionately impacted by unaffordable or unreliable services.
