Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following:
1 New Paragraph; Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act; Net Energy Metering. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XXIII the following new paragraph:
XXIV.(a) A customer-generator that is inadvertently enrolled in a municipal or county aggregation program adopted and operating under RSA 53-E by error or without the customer-generator's consent, if required, may request that the customer-generator's electric distribution utility re-enroll the customer-generator in the utility’s default energy service.
(b) Upon receipt of the customer-generator’s petition, the electric distribution utility shall:
(1) Investigate the customer-generator's enrollment status within 20 business days;

(3) Retroactively apply net metering credits for exported kilowatt-hours for a period of up to 4 monthly billing cycles prior to the effective re-enrollment date, with such credits based on the applicable net metering tariff in effect during the period of inadvertent dis-enrollment from utility default energy service. Any credits from energy exported more than 3 months prior to the customer notifying the utility shall not be recoverable from the utility.
(c) Retroactive credits issued by the utility under this paragraph shall be recoverable from all customers consistent with recovery of the utility’s net metering expenses.
