AN ACT CONCERNING THE SEPARATION OF THE PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

This bill (HB 5399) would move the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) out of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). It directly affects the state's energy regulatory structure by separating these two agencies. The bill requires updating state statutes to reflect this structural change, with no new policy rules or funding changes. It is a procedural reorganization, not a policy amendment.
