AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure greater participation and representation in utility company regulatory proceedings. It allows municipalities within the service area of a gas or electric company, members of the state legislature whose districts include the company's ratepayers, and groups of at least 10 ratepayers to participate as full parties in any adjudicatory proceedings related to a petition, approval request, or investigation of the utility company. This is intended to give ratepayers and local communities a stronger voice in the regulatory processes that impact them.
