The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6301, aims to amend section 16-245o of the general statutes to prohibit electric suppliers from imposing fees on customers who wish to cancel their service or switch to a different electric supplier. The bill specifically inserts language that clarifies that no electric supplier may charge any customer a fee for these actions.

The intent of this legislation is to enhance consumer protection by ensuring that customers can freely change their electric supplier without incurring additional costs. This change is designed to promote competition among electric suppliers and empower consumers to make choices that best suit their energy needs.
