Creates provisions relating to public utilities employees' whistleblower protections
Second Read and Referred S Commerce, Consumer Protection, Energy & the Environment Committee
Summary
The bill requires the Public Service Commission and the Missouri Office of the Public Counsel to appoint ombudsmen who receive and confidentially handle complaints from utility workers about illegal or improper actions. It sets out steps for confirming receipt, allowing the complainant to meet investigators, rebut utility denials, comment on reports, and receive final results. Complainants would receive the same remedies as under the existing Whistleblower Protection Act.
