SB 14 Delaware Senate · 150th General Assembly (2019-2020)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC ADVOCATE.

Summary

This Act clarifies that the Public Advocate may appear before any federal or State court or federal or State administrative body in matters involving public utility rates, services, and practices of public utilities. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. This Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 14 differs from Senate Bill No. 14 by allowing the Public Advocate to provide public comment before only State regulatory agencies and commissions and simplifying the language regarding the hiring of attorneys, as needed.
