MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift its focus from prohibiting utility companies from passing on international tariff costs to requiring them to transparently disclose these costs and other bill components. The new version mandates that utilities include a specific 'tariff cost estimate' on every customer bill and itemize delivery charges by category, such as executive compensation and shareholder returns.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a prohibition on cost-pass-through to a transparency requirement for all utility bills, expanding the disclosure to include specific internal cost categories like executive pay and debt interest.

REQUIREMENT

The core mandate changed from banning the passing of international tariff costs to requiring a clear, conspicuous estimate of those costs on every billing statement.

Utilities must now itemize delivery charges on bills, breaking them down into nine specific categories including executive compensation, repairs, depreciation, interest, rents, taxes, and shareholder returns.

DEFINITION

A new definition for 'tariff cost estimate' was added to specify exactly which international trade tariffs must be calculated and disclosed.

ENFORCEMENT

The Public Service Commission is now authorized to create specific rules regarding the format and calculation methods for these new disclosures.
