Summary
Amends the Public Utilities Act. In provisions concerning the obligations of alternative retail electric suppliers and provisions concerning the obligations of alternative gas suppliers, provides that the alternative retail electric supplier or alternative gas supplier shall submit to the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Office of the Attorney General certain information about rates that the alternative retail electric supplier or alternative gas supplier charged to residential customers in the prior year, including the number of customers that were enrolled for each rate. Provides that an alternative retail electric supplier or alternative gas supplier shall not pay a commission or any other incentive-based compensation to individuals engaged in in-person solicitation or telemarketing and shall not charge a rate that is more than 25% higher than the current electric supply price or current monthly gas supply rate to any residential or small commercial retail customer at any time. In provisions concerning alternative retail electric supplier selection and provisions concerning alternative gas suppliers, provides that an alternative retail electric supplier or an alternative gas supplier shall not automatically renew a consumer's enrollment after the current term of the contract expires when the renewed contract provides that the consumer will be charged a rate that is higher than the consumer's current contract rate unless: (i) the alternative retail electric supplier or alternative gas supplier complies with certain provisions concerning contract renewal; and (ii) the customer expressly consents to the contract renewal in writing or by electronic signature at least 30 days, but no more than 60 days, before the contract expires. Makes other changes.
