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

HB 6303 would move the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) out of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). This procedural bill changes the agency's administrative structure but does not alter regulatory powers or create new rules. The separation affects how PURA operates within state government, shifting it from DEEP to a standalone entity. The bill directly impacts state agency organization and reporting lines without changing public utility regulations.
