Reporting requirements for recoverable expenses modification in rate cases
This bill modifies reporting requirements for gas utilities when seeking rate increases. It requires utilities to provide detailed, itemized reports of travel, entertainment, and executive expenses (including dates, amounts, and business purposes) in rate case filings. The bill eliminates a sunset provision that previously limited the recovery of gas utility infrastructure costs to a specific timeframe. These changes apply directly to gas utilities filing rate cases with Minnesota's Public Utilities Commission.
