AN ACT CONCERNING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN ELECTRIC UTILITY RATE CASES.

SB 87 (2025) requires Connecticut's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to improve public outreach about opportunities to participate in electricity rate reviews. The bill mandates PURA to actively publicize ways for residents to submit comments or attend hearings during utility rate cases. This affects anyone who uses electricity in Connecticut by making it easier to engage in the process of reviewing utility rate changes. The key change is a procedural requirement for PURA to enhance communication about public participation, not a change to actual electricity rates.
