Bill Summary
An Act relating to a simplified rate filing procedure for refuse utility rate adjustments; relating to Regulatory Commission of Alaska regulations regarding refuse utilities; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Alaska's regulations for refuse utilities (companies that collect and dispose of garbage, trash, or waste) by amending existing utility rate adjustment procedures. Specifically, the bill allows refuse utilities to use a simplified rate filing procedure similar to those already available for electric cooperatives and local exchange telephone utilities. The Regulatory Commission of Alaska will be required to create new regulations for refuse utilities that include provisions for adequate public notice and meaningful opportunities for ratepayers to provide comments on proposed rate changes. The bill defines a "refuse utility" as a service that provides garbage and waste collection and disposal to the public for compensation. The legislation also gives the commission the ability to review and potentially revoke or modify rate adjustment permissions if needed. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for quick implementation of the new regulatory framework for refuse utilities.
