Summary

HB 5080 amends Connecticut law to eliminate the Combined Public Benefits Charge on electric bills for end‑use customers of all electric distribution companies. Instead of being billed directly, the cost of that charge would be funded from the state's General Fund. The change is intended to lower the amount shown on consumer electric statements while keeping the programs funded by the charge.
