SB 1233: Public utilities: rates.
The bill proposes to amend the Public Utilities Code to require public utilities to provide certain information when proposing rate changes. It aims to ensure that rate changes are justified and transparent, and that customers are notified of any changes. The Public Utilities Commission would need to consider specific factors when approving rate changes. A violation of the commission's actions implementing the bill's requirements would be considered a crime. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies or school districts for costs related to implementing the bill.
