AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure greater representation of ratepayers and local communities in regulatory proceedings involving gas and electric utility companies. It proposes to amend state law to allow municipalities within a utility's service area, state legislators representing the utility's ratepayers, and groups of at least 10 ratepayers to participate as full parties in any adjudicatory proceedings related to a utility's petition, request for approval, or investigation. This would give these stakeholders more direct input and involvement in the regulatory process that determines utility rates and policies.
