House Bill No. by Representative Selders enacts Chapter 67 of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, focusing on transparency for utility bills related to residential properties. The new chapter includes definitions for key terms such as "housing provider," "individual meter," "original bill," "tenant," "third-party billing," "unit," and "utility." It establishes that housing providers utilizing third-party billing must comply with tenant requests for copies of original utility bills, specifying the required information and timelines for compliance.

The bill outlines the process for tenants to request utility bill information, including the need for written requests and the obligation of housing providers to respond within thirty days. It also stipulates that failure to comply with these provisions may result in fines of up to five hundred dollars per violation. Tenants are granted the right to take civil action against non-compliant housing providers, and the attorney general is empowered to seek injunctive relief and impose penalties for violations.
