What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes changes to the funding of statewide energy efficiency and

renewable resources programs, known as Focus on Energy, that current law requires

investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to fund. Under the bill, the Public

Service Commission must require those utilities to spend 2.4 percent of their annual

operating revenues derived from retail sales to fund Focus on Energy and related

programs. Under current law, the amount those utilities must spend is 1.2 percent

of their annual operating revenues derived from retail sales.
