Exempts local utilities from certain reporting requirements.

This bill exempts local utilities from specific reporting requirements related to the pandemic's impact on utility services. It would change existing law so that only public utilities, not local utilities, must submit detailed reports on service impacts, customer data, revenue, and infrastructure projects affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Local utilities are defined as sewerage authorities, utilities authorities, or municipal, county, or regional utility entities providing electricity, gas, sewer, or water service. The exemption would remove the need for these local entities to file quarterly reports on metrics like customer disconnections, arrears, assistance programs, and rate structures. This change would reduce reporting burdens for local utilities while maintaining reporting requirements for public utilities.
