HB 2401 Arizona House · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

technical correction; electric generation suppliers

This bill amends Arizona law to clarify that local cities and counties cannot require electric generation suppliers to obtain street franchises or pay special fees for using public roads to deliver electricity. The only exception allows these local governments to charge a fee equal to what electric distribution utilities pay, provided the service uses existing distribution facilities in areas franchised since 1998. The legislation explicitly preserves the authority of local governments to require franchises for electric distribution services, which are distinct from generation services. By removing the ambiguity in the previous statute, the bill aims to streamline regulations for companies that generate electricity rather than just deliver it.
