Bill > SB1034

Introduced Session

Under this bill, no former commissioner of the Public Service Commission, for 36 months following the date on which he or she ceases to be a commissioner, may engage in employment for compensation with an investor-owned public utility or a transmission company if the former commissioner’s employment duties for the utility or company include policy making or executive decision-making, operations management, or government relations. Any violation of the bill’s employment prohibition is enforced as a violation of the state’s code of ethics for state public officials under laws administered by the Ethics Commission. Additionally, the bill’s employment prohibition first applies retroactively to a person who ceases to be a commissioner during the 12 months immediately preceding the date on which the bill becomes law.
