Creates provisions that allow for transfer of utility service to a spouse of the account holder without additional fees under certain circumstances

This bill prevents public utilities from charging extra deposits or transfer fees when a spouse takes over utility services if the original account holder dies, is deported, or is jailed for over 30 days, provided the account is in good standing. However, a new deposit may be required if the spouse has a recent unpaid bill, has tampered with utility service, or cannot provide identification. If a new deposit is needed, the utility must allow installment payments unless the spouse has a history of tampering with service.
