These reports will include itemized lists of costs associated with each program and will be made available to the public through the commission's website, the comptroller's website, and the department of public service's energy affordability program's website. The commission will also create lists of programs that will or may cost ratepayers money and display these lists on utility billing documents. The information reported by the commission will be made publicly available, and the commission is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this act.
