Repeals and modifies certain provisions relating to the regulation of public utilities
Second Read and Referred S Commerce, Consumer Protection, Energy & the Environment Committee
Summary
The bill removes sections 393.135 and 393.150 of the Missouri statutes and inserts new language that bars electrical corporations from charging customers for costs tied to construction work in progress, and that gives the Public Service Commission broader authority to suspend and review new rates, charges, contracts or practices. It affects electric, gas, water and sewer utilities and could limit how utilities recover construction costs, giving consumers more protection.
