Bill > SB1119

This bill amends Section 40-461 of Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the definitions related to the Residential Utility Consumer Office. Specifically, the bill adds a new definition that clarifies what it means to "represent the interests of" utility consumers, which is defined as advocating for the safest and most reliable utility service achievable at the lowest possible retail rate. The bill also slightly modifies the existing definition of "public service corporation" by removing a comma and emphasizing that it does not include member-owned nonprofit cooperative corporations. The other existing definitions remain the same: "Director" refers to the director of the Residential Utility Consumer Office, and "Office" refers to the Residential Utility Consumer Office itself. This technical amendment appears aimed at providing more precise language about the office's role in protecting consumers' utility interests and clarifying the types of corporations covered by the statute.
