Summary
Senate Joint Resolution 134, sponsored by Senator Wheeler, was passed by the Natural Resources and Energy Committee to direct the Public Service Commission to review Kentucky's fuel adjustment clause; committee approved the resolution by voice/roll-call and moved it to the Senate floor.
The Natural Resources and Energy Committee voted to send Senate Joint Resolution 134 to the Senate floor after sponsor Senator Wheeler said the measure asks the Public Service Commission to review Kentucky's fuel adjustment clause as part of ongoing affordability reforms.
Wheeler described the resolution as building on prior bipartisan action (Senate Bill 172) to address energy affordability and asked the committee to advance the matter. The clerk called the roll and the committee recorded a favorable expression to pass SJR 134 on to the full Senate.
Why it matters: The fuel adjustment clause affects utility billing and can influence monthly costs passed to ratepayers; a PSC review could identify adjustments or policies to address affordability.
Next steps: The resolution will be placed on the Senate calendar for further consideration by the full chamber.
