Bill Summary
Amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Public Utility Commission, further providing for consumer protection and information.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Utility Commission (PUC) section of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance consumer protection and information. Specifically, it requires that any notice of a proposed rate change or system acquisition sent to utility customers include instructions on how to submit comments to the PUC, and that the PUC must, at a minimum, accept comments by mail and electronically, including through a publicly accessible website. This aims to improve public participation and transparency in PUC proceedings related to changes in utility rates or acquisitions.
