Establishes a standardized rate application template for utilities
What changed between versions
The list of regulated utilities subject to the new standardized filing rules was reduced from gas, electric, water, and other utilities to only gas, electric, and steam utilities.
The term 'rate application' was changed to 'rate filing', and the definition was updated to specifically reference a 'major change in rates and charges' rather than any general rate increase.
The definition of 'Utility' was updated to remove 'water' and 'telecommunications' corporations from the list of entities subject to the bill.
An exception was added stating that the standardized template does not apply to filings initiated under sections seventy-one or seventy-two of the Public Service Law.
The requirement for the commission to establish a template was changed from 'by rule or order' to 'by rule only'.
