HB3725

Illinois HB3725 mandates local governments to bill for utility services within specific timeframes and outlines billing procedures.

Illinois HB3725, known as the Local Government Billing Act, requires local governments to bill for utility services within 12 months for residential customers and 24 months for non-residential customers after service provision. Exceptions apply for unpaid amounts billed before the Act's effective date for services supplied before January 1, 2026. The Act prohibits intentional delays beyond the normal billing cycle and mandates labeling of previously unbilled service amounts on customer bills. It also provides a payment arrangement option for customers without interest or late fees.
