HB3398

UTILITY-RECEIPT OF PAYMENT

Introduced·2/7/25
Introduced Text

Illinois HB3398 amends the Public Utilities Act to redefine the date of receipt for utility bill payments.

Illinois HB3398 amends the Public Utilities Act by adding Section 8-513, which sets the date of receipt for utility bill payments as either the date the payment is presented to the utility or its agent, the date it arrives, or the date the mailed payment is postmarked. This change aims to provide clarity and flexibility in determining when a payment is considered received by the utility. The Illinois Commerce Commission may adopt rules to implement this provision.
