The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Rolison says this is needed

Utility bills are a significant monthly expense for New Yorkers, yet most consumers receive little to no explanation of how their payments are allocated. Ratepayers deserve to know what portion of their bills is devoted to maintaining infrastructure, what funds are directed to the New York Power Authority, and what amount is allocated to programs and policies mandated by the Public Service Commission. Providing a stand- ardized, itemized breakdown will enhance transparency and accountability in utility billing, strengthen consumer confidence by giving customers a clearer understanding of charges, and promote informed dialogue on state energy policy and costs. This legislation ensures that families and businesses are no longer left in the dark about where their money is going, while fostering fairness and trust in the state's energy system.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
