Public Service Commission Term Holdover Extension Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill declares an emergency to extend the time current Public Service Commission commissioners can continue serving after their terms expire. It allows Chairman Emile Thompson and Commissioner Ted Trabue to hold their positions for an additional 90 days, extending their service from December 27, 2026, to March 27, 2027. The extension is intended to give the incoming Mayor time to appoint new commissioners before they take office in January 2027. The measure also seeks to fast-track the approval process by allowing it to pass with a single reading.
