HF 2188 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public Utilities Commission administrative action definition modified.

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 10A.01 to explicitly include the Public Utilities Commission's (PUC) statutory actions under the definition of "administrative action" for campaign finance purposes. Previously, routine PUC rule applications were excluded from this definition, but the amendment clarifies that PUC decisions like rate setting, power plant siting, and certificate approvals now fall under it. The change directly affects how campaign finance disclosures apply to the PUC's regulatory activities. It updates Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10A.01, subdivision 2, to ensure consistent treatment of PUC actions alongside other state agencies.
