Utility-Billing For Services

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act, a municipality shall bill for any utility service, including previously unbilled service, supplied to a customer within 24 months after providing the service to the customer. Provides exceptions for billing within 24 months attributed to tampering, theft of service, fraud, or the customer preventing the utility's recorded efforts to obtain an accurate reading of the meter. Further provides that a municipality may not intentionally delay billing beyond the normal bill cycle. Amends the Public Water District Act, the Water Service District Act, the Water Authorities Act, and the Water Commission Act making similar changes. Effective immediately.
