New rules protect deployed soldiers from utility shut off
A new rule adopted by the Iowa Utilities Board will protect the households of deployed military personnel from gas and electric service disconnection. The new rules, effective Oct. 27, implement state legislation passed earlier this year related to unemployment, housing, family services and other legal protections for military families. The laws were in response to Department of Defense (DOD) recommendations that states adopt measures supporting military families in 2010. Iowa was the first state in the nation to adopt all 10 recommendations.
