AWC encourages cities to sign in support of HB 1329 as the bill is heard in Committee this week.

We have been actively engaged with HB 1329, which prohibits water and electric utility shutoffs during periods of extreme heat. As introduced, the bill presented several implementation challenges for city utility providers. Check out our previous coverage here and here.

After working with the bill sponsors and the Attorney General’s Office to refine the bill such that cities would be able to implement it, AWC is now happy to support the proposal and urges cities to do the same. Contact your legislators and sign in or submit written testimony expressing your position.

Sign in support of HB 1329.

Dates to remember

HB 1329 is scheduled for public hearing in the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Committee on Tuesday, March 21 at 1:30 pm.
