SB 2059 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Utility Commission - As introduced, authorizes the commission to electronically provide to the general assembly its annual report of all matters relating to the commissioner's office for the preceding year, including practical workings of companies under its jurisdiction in this state and an abstract of the minutes of all of the commission's meetings. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 12; Title 13; Title 54; Title 64; Title 65; Title 68 and Title 69.

SB 2059 authorizes Tennessee's Public Utility Commission (PUC) to provide its annual report electronically to the state General Assembly. The report covers the PUC's operations, utility company activities under its jurisdiction, and meeting minutes from the previous year. This bill amends Tennessee Code sections to update the reporting requirement from physical to electronic delivery, streamlining how lawmakers receive this information. It directly affects the PUC (which must issue the report) and the General Assembly (which receives it), but does not change the content or substance of the report itself. The change is purely procedural, making report distribution more efficient.
