A bill titled the Smart Meter Data Privacy Protection Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why it matters: This is a standard legislative referral. It signals that a member of Congress wants to address how utility companies handle customer data from smart meters, but it has no legal force until it passes both chambers and is signed into law.
Who it affects
- Utility companies that install and manage smart meters
