Summary
The bill adds a federal rule that former members of state utility regulatory bodies cannot lobby or be paid to influence those agencies for two years after they leave. It also sets deadlines for states to adopt the rule and exempts states that already have similar standards. The goal is to curb revolving‑door influence over electric utility regulation.
