Allowable number of statutory city public utility commission members increased.

HF 1345 amends Minnesota law to clarify that statutory cities with public utility commissions can adjust the commission size within the existing range of three to seven members through a city council ordinance. The bill requires any ordinance changing the number of members to maintain staggered terms for current members, ensuring incumbents complete their full terms if the size is reduced. This directly affects statutory cities that operate public utility commissions, allowing them more flexibility to adapt commission staffing to local needs. The change takes effect the day after the bill is enacted.
