Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill amends existing law regarding how gas, electric, and steam utilities can change their rates. It requires utilities to coordinate with the commission before filing rate increase requests and allows the commission to delay filings for large electric utilities. The bill also introduces a new provision requiring natural gas and electric utilities to report tax savings from personal property exemptions, which will then be used to decrease residential rates.
