• Introduced by Rep. Paul Opsommer (R) on September 11, 2012, to require utilities to implement a system for allowing customers to read their own meters and self-report electricity or gas use. Utilities would still check meters themselves once per year, and would be prohibited from charging extra to allow this option. The option would remain available only for customers who are regular and “reasonably accurate” in their reporting.
  • Referred to the House Energy and Technology Committee on September 11, 2012.
