What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
