Panel advances HB 1305 on municipal energy distribution oversight; bill remains under revision
Summary
Committee advanced House Bill 1305, which addresses oversight and potential PSC audits of municipally owned energy distribution systems. The bill includes a reverse-repealer provision and remains subject to further work.
Senator Williams introduced House Bill 1305, describing it as a measure to refine oversight of municipally owned energy distribution systems and to ensure the Public Service Commission does not audit systems unnecessarily. He characterized the bill as a "reverse repealer" intended to narrow audit triggers while preserving PSC authority where appropriate.
Senator Williams said he will continue work on the language to avoid requiring audits of systems that do not need them. The committee voted on the motion to report the bill and the motion carried; the bill was reported for further consideration.
