Bill > SB128

This bill requires the Public Utility Commission (PUC), a state regulatory agency responsible for overseeing utility services, to conduct a comprehensive study on electric power and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on energy by September 15, 2026. The bill provides the commission with the latitude to include legislative recommendations in its report, following the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245, which governs how state agencies prepare and submit reports. The legislation is temporary in nature, with the study mandate and reporting requirement automatically expiring on January 2, 2027, which ensures that the study is a time-limited initiative designed to provide focused insights into electric power issues without creating a permanent ongoing obligation for the PUC.
