Relates to election of public service commissioners
This bill proposes to amend the state constitution to change how public service commissioners are selected, moving from appointment to election. The change would require these commissioners to be chosen through a process defined by future legislation rather than being appointed by the governor. This affects the public service department and establishes a new method for selecting its leadership. The amendment must be published for three months before the next general election and requires Senate approval to take effect.
