Subdivision 1 of section 41 of the public service law, as added by chapter 713 of the laws of 1981, is amended to read as follows: 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no utility corporation or municipality [may] SHALL charge a residential customer for gas or electric service which was rendered more than [six] TWO months prior to the mailing of the first bill to the customer for such service unless the failure of the corporation or municipality to bill sooner was not due to the neglect of the corporation or municipality or was due to the culpable conduct of the customer. If the customer remains liable for such service, the utility shall permit payments to be made under an installment payment plan, provided, however, that the utility or munici- pality may require prompt payment if the non-billing resulted from the culpable conduct of the customer. Any such installment payment plan may provide for a downpayment of up to one-half of the amounts due from the customer, or three months average billing, whichever is less. § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 41-a to read as follows: § 41-A. FINALITY OF CHARGES; NON-RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
