OTIS, BRENNAN, McDONALD -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. BUCHWALD -- read once and referred to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions -- recommitted to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions in accordance with Assembly Rule 3, sec. 2 -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to marketing prac- tices of energy services companies THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that on March 14, 1996, the New York State Public Service Commission authorized energy services companies (ESCOs) to compete with traditional utilities to supply consumers with electricity or natural gas. Since then, approxi- mately 85 ESCOs have become certified to provide electricity in New York state and over 100 ESCOs have become certified to provide natural gas. The legislature further finds that on October 19, 2012, the Public Service Commission instituted a new proceeding (12-M-0476) to examine aspects of the residential and small non-residential retail energy markets in the state, during the course of which proceeding, the Depart- ment of Public Service found that some large scale non-residential customers were benefiting from competition, while some small non-resi- dential and residential customers were not benefiting and paying more for energy than they typically would pay with their utility. The legis- lature further finds that the proceeding discovered "major weaknesses in the residential and small non-residential retail energy markets due to the lack of accurate, transparent and useful information and marketing behavior that creates and too often relies on customer confusion." Therefore, to protect customers, the legislature finds it necessary to establish enhanced penalties to end abusive practices.
