Bill > HR7214

This bill, titled the "End PG&E Lobbying Act," proposes to amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 by establishing a federal standard for a two-year lobbying ban. Specifically, it would prevent individuals who have recently served on a State regulatory authority, which are government bodies responsible for overseeing utility rates and services, from lobbying or practicing before that same authority for two years after their term ends. This ban would prohibit them from trying to influence decisions or gain non-public information from the authority, and from providing paid services related to matters before it. The bill also mandates that state regulatory authorities must consider and make a determination on this two-year lobbying ban standard within one and two years, respectively, of the bill's enactment, with some exceptions for states that have already implemented similar measures.
