SB 1027

Amends GS 62-159.1 by adding subsection (c) which prohibits public utilities and electric membership corporations from suspending or disconnecting service to a residential retail customer during a period of extreme heat, period of poor air quality, or extreme cold with a high temperature under 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Requires public utilities and electric membership corporations to offer customers with delinquent accounts, adversely affected by the extreme weather event, the option of settling any unpaid balance through participation in a deferred payment plan.
