The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6301, aims to amend section 16-245o of the general statutes by prohibiting electric suppliers from charging customers any fees associated with canceling their service or switching to a different electric supplier. This legislative change is intended to enhance consumer protection by allowing customers the freedom to change their electric supplier without incurring additional costs.

The bill specifically inserts language that clarifies that no electric supplier may impose such fees, thereby removing any existing provisions that may allow for these charges. The overall goal of the bill is to promote competition among electric suppliers and empower consumers to make choices that best suit their energy needs without financial penalties.
