     2  66-p to read as follows:
     3    §  66-p.  Gas  and electric billing information for residential rental
     4  premises. Every gas corporation, electric corporation  and  municipality
     5  shall  make  available  to  any landlord or lessor of residential rental
     6  premises, within ten days of receipt of a written request therefor  from
     7  any  prospective  tenant or lessee thereof, prior to the commencement of
     8  tenancy or execution of a lease, information consisting of  the  charges
     9  incurred  at  such  premises for gas or electric service or both for the
    10  life of the dwelling unit or the preceding two year period, whichever is
    11  shorter. Such information shall be identified solely by the  address  of
    12  the  dwelling  unit,  and  no  other  information identifying the owner,
    13  lessee, or other occupant of the dwelling unit shall be utilized for, or
    14  made available in connection with, the furnishing of billing information
    15  pursuant to this section.  Such information shall be furnished  to  both
    16  the  landlord  or lessor and to the prospective tenant or lessee without
    17  the imposition of any charge or fee therefor by any party to any party.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
