Stronger protections from home utility shutoffs

The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada must set rules for when utilities must delay a shutoff after nonpayment. The rules can consider your ability to pay. If a shutoff is reasonably likely to threaten an occupant’s health and you meet the rules, the utility must postpone it. Utilities must follow the Commission’s regulations before any shutoff can happen.

Tenant notice before landlord utility shutoffs

When a landlord pays for and resells utility service and has not paid the bill, the utility must try to post a clear notice before shutoff. The notice must include how to contact the utility if the shutoff is likely to harm someone’s health. This gives renters time to reach out for help.

Quarterly public reports on shutoffs

Utilities must publish a public report each quarter by the last day of the first month. The report covers the prior quarter. It must show the total number of monthly shutoffs to homes and give aggregated details, including ZIP codes.
