MODERATE
The bill was amended to streamline rate filing requirements for gas and electric corporations by removing detailed mandates for inflation-indexed proposals and complex dividend justification rules. The changes simplify the regulatory process by eliminating specific caps on revenue increases based on consumer price indices and reducing the number of required disclosure categories, while retaining the core requirement for companies to explain dividend increases if they occurred in the previous four years.
Scope change
The scope of required disclosures was narrowed; the bill no longer mandates separate itemization of operating expenses, capital expenditures, and programmatic/policy expenditures in a standardized format, nor does it require an inflation-indexed proposal with specific revenue caps.
REQUIREMENT

Eliminated the requirement for an inflation-indexed proposal that limits revenue increases to the average annual consumer price index over the prior three years.

Removed the mandate for applicants to separately itemize operating expenses, capital expenditures, and programmatic/policy expenditures in a standardized format.

Deleted the detailed rebuttable presumption rule regarding dividend increases and the specific burden of proof required to challenge them.

Simplified the remaining disclosure requirements to focus primarily on dividend forecasts and explanations for recent dividend increases, removing other cost breakdowns.

TIMELINE
