AN ACT REQUIRING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND CONSUMER COUNSEL TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

HB 5143 requires the Attorney General and Consumer Counsel (or their designees) to be appointed as members of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. This bill directly affects the composition of the regulatory body that oversees utility companies. The key provision mandates these specific appointments, ensuring legal and consumer advocacy perspectives are formally included in the Authority's decision-making. The bill does not change utility regulations or rates but alters who serves on the governing body. (1 sentence short as it's procedural).
