C4: Utility Debt and COVID-19 (Video)

Almost all states stopped or limited utility disconnections during the COVID-19 state of emergency. Some states have lifted these orders while others will continue at least until the spring. At the end of a state disconnection moratorium, the utility bills come due, along with rent, food, and all of the other bills. This session will examine utility consumer debt, recommendations for utility consumer protection policies at the state level, and examples of successful advocacy.
