 Introduced  by M. of A. BEEPHAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
   tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions
 
 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to  requiring  elec-
   tric  utility  corporations,  energy  services  companies  and munici-
   palities to provide an itemized breakdown on monthly  bills  detailing
   infrastructure  costs,  contributions to the New York Power Authority,
   and other public utility investments
 
   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 transparency
 in  utility  billing  is essential to ensuring ratepayers understand how
 their payments are  allocated.  At  present,  consumers  receive  little
 information  regarding what portion of their monthly bills is devoted to
 infrastructure, contributions to the New York Power Authority, or  other
 investments  approved  or  mandated  by  the  Public Service Commission.
 Providing a  clear,  itemized  breakdown  will  enhance  accountability,
 strengthen  consumer  confidence,  and  promote  informed dialogue about
 energy policy and costs.
   § 2. Section 44 of the public service law is amended by adding  a  new
 subdivision 8 to read as follows:
   8. (A) EVERY ELECTRIC UTILITY CORPORATION, ENERGY SERVICES COMPANY AND
 MUNICIPALITY  SHALL  PROVIDE ON EACH CUSTOMER'S MONTHLY BILL AN ITEMIZED
 BREAKDOWN THAT INCLUDES, AT A MINIMUM:
   (I) THE PORTION OF THE  BILL  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  INFRASTRUCTURE  COSTS,
 INCLUDING TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION, AND MAINTENANCE;
   (II)   THE   PORTION   OF  THE  BILL  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  CONTRIBUTIONS,
 SURCHARGES, OR ASSESSMENTS DIRECTED TO THE NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY; AND
   (III) THE PORTION OF  THE  BILL  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  OTHER  INVESTMENTS,
 SURCHARGES,  OR  FEES AS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSION, INCLUDING BUT NOT
 LIMITED TO RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAMS, ENERGY EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES, AND
 PUBLIC POLICY CHARGES.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
