The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) has proposed a legislative initiative aimed at protecting consumers from disconnection of essential services due to unpaid bills. The bill, introduced by AUR deputy Dan Tanasă, seeks to prevent situations where individuals lose access to electricity, gas, water, heating, or communication services over minor debts. It establishes a minimum protection threshold for disconnection, based on either 50 euros or the average bill over the past year. The initiative also mandates a prior procedure before disconnection and allows for debt restructuring. Vulnerable consumers and those reliant on medical equipment will be protected from disconnection year-round. AUR aims to create a unified legal framework to safeguard consumers' rights while ensuring that debts are collected proportionately.
