HB 2558, if passed, would modify the Utilities Code (Chapter
141) by adding a new section (141.0031) related to the length of billing
periods for propane gas customers, related to extreme weather and civil events.
Namely, the bill clarifies billing procedures, and states that billing months
(charge periods) may be extended in the case of extreme conditions. These
include natural disasters, closed roads, and major civil disturbances.
HB 2558 seems like a prudent piece of legislation. There may
be potential, marginal, costs and benefits as a result of allowing billing
periods to be extended. By somewhat reducing government regulation this legislation supports limited government, thereore we support HB 2558.
