Speakers:

The Senate Utilities Committee heard two bills: HB 1002 on utility affordability, billing transparency and performance‑based ratemaking, and HB 1368 on state primacy for Class VI carbon‑dioxide storage permits. Lawmakers debated amendments, heard dozens of stakeholder witnesses for and against both measures, and voted to advance each bill to the next stage with committee amendments.
