Senate Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the engrossed bill with the following changes: provides that a utility shall bill for any utility service, including previously unbilled service, supplied to a residential customer within 12 months (in the engrossed bill, 24 months) after providing service to the customer; provides that time limits for billing do not apply to previously unbilled service attributed to the customer preventing (in the engrossed bill, any other intentional or unintentional act not caused by the utility preventing) the utility from accurately reading the meter; and creates additional requirements when billing for previously unbilled services. Makes various technical corrections. Effective immediately.

House Amendment 001

Provides that a requirement to bill customers within 24 months after providing services to a customer does not apply when any intentional or unintentional act not caused by the utility prevents the utility's recorded efforts to obtain an accurate reading of a meter (currently, only excludes unbilled services attributed to tampering, theft of service, fraud, or the customer preventing the utility's recorded efforts to obtain an accurate reading of a meter).
