Public utilities and cooperative electric associations required to report revenue authorized and collected.

HF 3778 requires Minnesota's regulated electric utilities and cooperative associations to annually report their authorized revenue (what they're allowed to collect) versus actual customer collections, broken down by base rates and bill riders. They must submit this data to the Public Utilities Commission by April 30 each year, starting in 2027. The bill adds this reporting requirement to Minnesota Statutes without changing utility rates or operations. It directly affects utilities subject to rate regulation under section 216B.026.
