AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY OF ELECTRIC UTILITIES.

SB 1293 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to study how electric utilities operate, their reliability, rates, and regulatory oversight. The study must be completed by January 1, 2026, with a report submitted to the legislature's energy committee. This bill directly affects electric utilities (as the subject of the study) and state regulators (who must conduct the study). The study will examine current practices but does not impose new regulations or costs, as confirmed by the fiscal note stating "no state or municipal impact."
