An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rates and distribution systems, further providing for recovery of advertising expenses.

Summary

The bill amends the public‑utility rate‑setting rules so that utilities cannot include political advertising, lobbying or other listed “prohibited” expenses in the costs approved for consumer rates. It also requires large utilities (over 75,000 customers) to file annual reports detailing those expenses, employee involvement and vendor payments. The goal is to increase transparency and prevent ratepayers from subsidizing utilities’ political activities.
