        AN  ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to certain require-

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1. Subdivision 14 of section 66 of the public service law, as
     2  amended by chapter 696 of the laws  of  1936,  is  amended  to  read  as
     3  follows:
     4    14.  The  commission  shall have power to require each gas corporation
     5  and electric corporation to establish classifications of  service  based
     6  upon  the quantity used, the time when used, the purpose for which used,
     7  the duration of use and upon any other reasonable consideration, and  to
     8  establish  in  connection  therewith just and reasonable graduated rates
     9  and charges; and it shall have power, either upon complaint or upon  its
    10  own  motion,  to require such changes in such classifications, rates and
    11  charges as it shall determine to be just  and  reasonable.  Neither  the
    12  scheduled  rates nor the minimum charge for residential customers shall,
    13  after July first, nineteen hundred thirty-seven, be based in any  manner
    14  on  the number of outlets, number of rooms, cubic or square foot area or
    15  other such standards. Such classifications of service shall be indicated
    16  on each customer's bill for electric service and shall  include  website
    17  address to other information deemed relevant by the commission.
    18    §  2.  Subdivision 1 of section 44 of the public service law, as added
    19  by chapter 713 of the laws of 1981, is amended to read as follows:
    20    1. Every utility corporation or municipality shall assure  that  bills
    21  for  service  to  residential  and  demand-metered  customers adequately
    22  explain the charges for service in clear  and  understandable  form  and
    23  language  and  shall indicate the account number and/or meter number for
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                                                                   LBD02311-02-1

     2  from time to time, specify the form and content of such bills to further
     3  the  objectives  of  this  subdivision.    Such  bill shall at a minimum
     4  include  the  quantity  billed,  the unit of measurement and the highest
     5  measurement of a specific line  item  as  measured  over  the  preceding
     6  fifty-two week period.
     7    § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
     8  it shall have become a law.
