Bill > HB06303

This bill aims to administratively separate the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), which is currently an agency within the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), into an independent entity. While the bill text is quite brief, it signals an intent to reorganize state government by removing PURA from DEEP's organizational structure. PURA is the state agency responsible for regulating public utilities in Connecticut, including electricity, natural gas, water, and telecommunications services. By separating PURA from DEEP, the bill suggests a desire to potentially enhance the agency's autonomy, independence, or operational effectiveness. The bill would require legislative action to amend existing statutes that currently place PURA within DEEP's organizational framework, though the specific mechanisms and implications of this separation are not detailed in the provided text.
