     1    Section 1. The public service law is amended by adding a  new  section
     2  73 to read as follows:
     3    §  73.  Power outage credit. Every electric corporation and gas corpo-
     4  ration in this state shall provide its customers with a credit  to  such
     5  customers' accounts at any time a customer is without power for a period
     6  of  time  in  excess  of  twenty-four hours. Such credit shall be in the
     7  amount of one hundred dollars for each twenty-four hour  period  that  a
     8  customer  is  without power and shall only be credited to the account of
     9  each customer of such corporation who has been without  power  for  such
    10  period  of  time.  Credit  to a customer's account made pursuant to this
    11  section shall be used to pay charges against such  account  assessed  by
    12  the  electric corporation or gas corporation and such customer shall not
    13  be required to pay on such account until such credit has been completely
    14  exhausted.
