What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill imposes restrictions on a municipal utility's release of "customer information," which the bill defines as any information received from customers which serves to identify customers individually by usage or account status. The bill prohibits a municipal utility from releasing customer information without the customer's consent. However, the prohibition does not apply to releases of customer information to certain persons who perform services or functions for municipal utilities or to certain transmission and distribution utilities and operators. The prohibition also does not apply to releases to the Public Service Commission (PSC) or persons whom the PSC authorizes by order or rule to receive the customer information. In addition, the prohibition does not apply to releases to any person who is otherwise authorized by law to receive the customer information. The bill also provides that customer information is not subject to disclosure under the state's open records law.
