Senator Hirono and colleagues urge utilities to halt penalties and service shutoffs for federal workers amid government shutdown.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Mazie K. Hirono and eight Senate colleagues have urged major utility companies to refrain from imposing penalties or shutting off services for federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown. In letters sent to various energy, water, and broadband companies, they emphasized that these workers, who are not receiving pay, could face difficulties in accessing essential services.
The Senators highlighted the importance of protecting affected federal employees from service interruptions, noting that while many states have laws against such disconnections, not all do. They called for nationwide adoption of similar protections, asserting that the situation is a result of a political dispute in which federal workers have no part.
Led by Senator Chris Van Hollen, the group also pointed out that workers will receive back pay under the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, which allows them to repay any suspended utility payments. The letters were addressed to executives of numerous utility companies to advocate for the support of federal employees during this challenging period.
