This bill mandates that electric utilities provide an annual written disclosure of radiation levels emitted by smart meters to each account holder. The new section, 374:2-b Smart Meter Radiation Disclosure, requires that these statements be delivered in either paper or electronic form, potentially included with regular billing statements or sent as separate notices. Additionally, the Public Utilities Commission is tasked with overseeing compliance with this requirement and is authorized to adopt necessary implementing rules under RSA 541-A.

The bill does not allocate funding or authorize new positions but anticipates significant expenditures for the Public Utilities Commission to manage the new responsibilities. The estimated costs for hiring additional staff to oversee and enforce the annual disclosures are projected to be $254,000 in FY 2027, $266,000 in FY 2028, and $280,000 in FY 2029, funded through utility assessments under RSA 363-A. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
