Relates to the review of joint proposals in rate proceedings

Summary

The bill changes the Public Service Law so that both utility companies and Department of Public Service staff must give detailed, separate answers to discovery requests and cross‑examination about any joint settlement proposal in a rate case. It also requires the Public Service Commission to approve any joint proposal only if each part is shown by clear and convincing evidence to be the best outcome for utility customers and to comply with the law. The measure applies to rate proceedings that start after it becomes law.
