A RESOLUTION
Directing the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to
conduct a study and issue a report on the issue of
consolidated billing in the retail electricity markets in
Pennsylvania.

consumers to choose their own retail electricity providers; and
WHEREAS, Delivery charges in Pennsylvania are billed by
utility default service providers, thereby preventing certain
customers from directly receiving consolidated bills from the
provider of their choice; and
WHEREAS, Consolidated billing provides consumer protections
and transparency for energy consumers; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate direct the Legislative Budget and
Finance Committee to conduct a study and issue a report, which
shall include:
(1) a review of the 2018 administrative proceedings of
the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission pertaining to
consolidated billing;
(2) an examination of the consolidated billing law and
