Bill Summary

To repeal any component of the Combined Public Benefits Charge.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to eliminate the Combined Public Benefits Charge (CPBC) from electric bills for customers of electric distribution companies. The Combined Public Benefits Charge is a fee historically collected as part of electric utility bills, typically used to fund energy efficiency programs, renewable energy initiatives, and other public benefit programs. By removing this charge, customers would see a reduction in their electric bills, as the additional fee would no longer be applied. The bill aims to fundamentally repeal any component of this charge, effectively stopping the collection of these funds through electric utility billing. The proposed change would require amendment of general statutes to remove the legal basis for imposing the CPBC, which would result in electric distribution companies no longer being able to include this charge when billing end-use customers.
