May 23, 2009

TO:
Honorable Troy Fraser, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1822 by Solomons (Relating to the use of certain terms by certificated telecommunications utilities, retail electric providers, and electric utilities in retail bills. ), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to adopt new rules including a list of defined terms common to the telecommunications and electricity industries. The PUC anticipates any additional work resulting from the enactment of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.


Local Government Impact

The fiscal impact to local entities would depend on the number of modifications required on a customer's bill.
