Establishes consumer rights for protection of health, safety, and privacy related to utility meters.

This bill amends the general business law to establish consumer rights for the protection of health, safety, and privacy needs related to utility meters. It defines "analog utility meter" and "digital utility meter," and grants consumers the right to decline permission for the installation of digital meters without penalty, fee, or service charge. It also mandates that electric, water, and gas corporations must provide written notice to consumers before installing digital meters and comply with consumer requests to replace digital meters with analog ones.
