Under current law, an investor-owned qualifying retail utility
serving more than 500,000 customers (utility) may install advanced metering infrastructure (smart meter) at a customer's residential property without the property owner's permission unless the customer opts out of having the smart meter installed. The bill prohibits, beginning July 1, 2025, a utility from installing a smart meter at a customer's residential property unless the customer opts in by submitting a signed request to the utility requesting the installation of a smart meter.
The bill also requires a utility that installed a smart meter at a
customer's residential property without the customer's permission prior to July 1, 2025, to uninstall the smart meter and replace it with a manual meter within 90 days after receiving a customer's request.
The bill requires a utility to establish an online website and provide
a phone number by which customers of the utility may submit requests to receive or uninstall a smart meter.
