Bill > S1214

This bill provides additional funding and staffing authorization for the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for fiscal year 2026, specifically appropriating $187,000 from the Public Utilities Commission Fund to be allocated as follows: $178,700 for personnel costs, $4,100 for operating expenditures, and $4,200 for capital outlay. The bill also increases the commission's full-time equivalent (FTE) position authorization by two positions for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. By declaring an emergency provision, the act will go into effect immediately on July 1, 2025, allowing the PUC to quickly implement the new funding and staffing levels to support its operations and potentially expand its capacity to regulate public utilities in the state.
