Bill > HB05143

This bill proposes to modify title 16 of the general statutes to require that the Attorney General and the Consumer Counsel (or their designated representatives) be appointed to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA). The bill aims to ensure that key legal and consumer advocacy representatives have a seat on PURA, which is a government agency responsible for regulating public utilities such as electricity, natural gas, water, and telecommunications services. By mandating the appointment of the Attorney General and Consumer Counsel to PURA, the bill seeks to enhance oversight, representation, and protection of consumer interests in utility regulation. This change would provide these important public representatives with direct involvement in PURA's decision-making processes, potentially improving transparency and accountability in utility regulation.
