Disconnection of service during remand interim period prohibited.

*NOTE: This section was created by emergency legislation that will expire on July 28, 2026.* (a) For the purposes of this section, the term "remand interim period" means the period of time after the issuance of a judicial order vacating a multi-year rate plan approved by the Commission and before a new rate plan is approved and instituted. (b) An electric company may not disconnect electric service for non-payment of a bill or fees during the remand interim period or for 15 calendar days after the end of the remand interim period, unless the household has an average outstanding balance of more than $1,000: (1) For any single-family residence, or any unit within a multifamily residence at which each unit's electricity usage can be measured; or (2) Per unit for any multifamily residence at which each unit's electricity usage cannot be measured, to be calculated by dividing the amount of the total arrearage assigned to the property by the number of units at the property at the time of the proposed disconnection, regardless of the amount of debt held by the owner or an individual tenant.
