Summary
The proposal adds a new Section 14 to Article XI that stops public utilities from billing customers for any expenses tied to building, financing, or maintaining a facility until it is fully operational. It applies to both existing and future utility projects, aiming to protect ratepayers from premature charges. The amendment would have to be approved by voters to take effect.
