Requires a fiscal note when a bill enacts or amends a law impacting the cost of utility services
This bill requires that any new or amended legislation affecting utility service costs (like electricity or gas) must include a fiscal note. The note must estimate the annual cost impact on utility customers and identify the source of that estimate. It applies to all bills changing how much customers pay for utility services, ensuring lawmakers and the public see cost projections before voting. The requirement takes effect immediately upon passage.
