 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 11045

 IN ASSEMBLY

 April 24, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. JACOBSON -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Energy

 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to prohibiting the
 increase of certain utility charges after twelve months from the time
 service was provided

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The opening paragraph of section 66-w of the public service
 2 law is designated subdivision 1 and a new subdivision 2 is added to read
 3 as follows:
 4 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a utility corporation
 5 or municipality may not adjust upward a bill previously rendered to a
 6 small non-residential customer after the expiration of twelve months
 7 from the time the service to which the adjustment pertains was provided
 8 unless: (a) failure to bill correctly was caused by the customer's
 9 culpable conduct or was not due to the neglect of the utility corpo-
 10 ration or municipality; or (b) there was a dispute between the utility
 11 corporation or municipality and the customer concerning the bill during
 12 the twelve-month period. A utility corporation or municipality issuing
 13 an additional or increased bill charging for services rendered twelve or
 14 more months prior to such date of issuance shall include with it a
 15 notice giving the reason for the late billing.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
