S.B. No. 426 mandates the Public Utility Commission of Texas to produce an annual report on disconnections of residential retail electric service due to nonpayment. Specifically, the commission is required to publish this report on its website by June 1 each year, detailing the total number of residential customers whose accounts have been disconnected. Additionally, from the report's publication until September 30 of each year, the commission must update the report weekly to reflect the current number of disconnections. The commission is also authorized to establish rules requiring relevant entities to provide necessary information to fulfill this reporting obligation.

The first report under this new requirement is scheduled to be published by June 1, 2026, and the act will take effect on September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance transparency regarding residential electric service disconnections in Texas, ensuring that stakeholders have access to timely and accurate data on this issue.
