HB 927 Engrossed 2024 Regular Session Selders
Abstract: Prohibits a parish or municipality from requiring certain persons to acquire a permit with
respect to the transfer of electric services provided by an authorized utility provider.
Present law prohibits parish and municipal governing authorities from requiring any person, who is
an account holder with an authorized utility provider and whose account is being charged by the
provider for electric services provided to a dwelling located in the state to acquire a permit to change
the name of the person listed as the account holder.
Proposed law instead provides that if a person who holds an account with an authorized utility
provider and whose account is being charged by the provider for electric services provided to a
dwelling located in the state transfers the account to another person, the parish or municipal
governing authority is prohibited from requiring the new account holder to acquire a permit to
continue electric services provided to such dwelling.
