Pennsylvania HB1079 criminalizes unauthorized changes to consumer electric or natural gas suppliers.
Pennsylvania HB1079 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish criminal penalties for knowingly changing a consumer's electric or natural gas supplier without consent. The offense is graded as a misdemeanor of the first degree for a first offense, and a felony of the third degree for subsequent offenses. The grading increases by one level if there are multiple victims or if the victim is 60 years or older or care-dependent. The Attorney General and district attorneys have concurrent authority to investigate and prosecute these offenses.
