The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 306, aims to amend section 16-245o of the general statutes to allow electric distribution customers classified as hardship customers to enter into contracts with any electric suppliers. This change is intended to provide these customers with more options for their energy supply, potentially leading to better rates or services that suit their financial situations.

The bill specifically introduces the legal language that permits hardship customers to contract with energy suppliers, contingent upon notifying their current electric distribution company. There are no deletions from the existing law noted in the text, indicating that the amendment is an addition to the current provisions governing electric supply contracts.
