2023-S9052 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo
BILL NUMBER: S9052
SPONSOR: COMRIE
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill clarifies the process on how water companies make available
non-billing information to residents of cooperatives, condominiums or
multifamily dwellings.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 17 of section 89-c of the
public service law as it relates to requiring that residents of certain
cooperatives, condominiums or multi-family dwellings must be able to
obtain non-billing information about their water service in the same
manner that customers of the water company are entitled to. This makes
several clarifying changes to ensure the water company identifies appli-
cable residents and provide written notice to such residents where they
have the option to receive the non-billing information.
Section 2 of the bill is the effective date.
