This resolution (SR 33) directs Pennsylvania's Joint State Government Commission to study water and wastewater system acquisitions since Act 12 of 2016, focusing on how rate changes affected customers before and after each acquisition. The study will collect specific data including pre- and post-acquisition rates, ownership changes, public input on rate hikes, community demographics, and system investments. The Commission must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Senate within 12 months, aiming to assess transparency and fairness for ratepayers without changing current laws.
