What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires a public utility providing retail electric services (electric utility) that files a general rate case application with the Public Service Commission to provide to each customer a notice with certain information about the rate case. Specifically, the notice must include 1) that the electric utility has requested that PSC change its rates, 2) the anticipated dollar and percentage effect of the rate change on the average residential and commercial customer bill, 3) that copies of the application are available for inspection at all of the electric utility’s offices and on its website, and 4) that an explanation of the proposed rate change is available from the electric utility upon request. Under the bill, the information provided in the notice must initially describe the rate case application and, for the 60 days after PSC issues the final rate case order, the information in the notice must describe the order. The bill requires that an electric utility provide the notice on its website and through a publication transmitted to each customer by the transmission method used to provide the customer’s bill.
