Bill > SB00087

This bill aims to improve public participation in electric utility rate cases by requiring the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to increase its efforts to inform and engage the public in the rate review process. Specifically, the bill mandates that PURA more actively publicize the various ways residents can get involved, such as submitting public comments and attending hearings related to electric distribution company rate cases. The goal is to enhance transparency and public awareness about how electricity rates are determined, allowing consumers to have a more meaningful voice in a process that directly impacts their utility costs. By making information about rate review more accessible and encouraging public input, the bill seeks to make the utility rate-setting process more democratic and responsive to consumer concerns.
