    I would think it's more than 3 states...
    Xcel Energy is my energy provider (western Wisconsin) and they have that same rule, more or less...

    From November 1 till April 15 they can't shut us off. They can send all the disconnect notices they want and we still get power. Now come April if we still haven't paid past dues... the power can be shut off and the bill just sent to collections.
