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, ensuring that disconnections cannot occur for amounts below a specified limit. The initiative also mandates that suppliers follow a prior procedure before disconnection and allows for debt restructuring. Vulnerable consumers and those reliant on medical equipment will receive additional protections. AUR aims to create a unified legal framework to safeguard consumers' rights while ensuring that debt recovery is conducted fairly.
