HB 2592 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Utility Commission - As enacted, requires, for an electric utility providing services outside the corporate limits of the home municipality, expansion of the utility board to provide representation on the board for such outside locality. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 12; Title 13; Title 54; Title 64; Title 65; Title 68 and Title 69.

HB 2592 modifies Tennessee state law to require the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to annually compare utility rates (telecommunications, electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater) between Tennessee and neighboring southeastern states, then submit this report to the General Assembly. The bill specifically adds electronic submission as an option for the PUC’s report, updating existing requirements under Tennessee Code Annotated. This procedural change directly affects the PUC (which must prepare the report) and the General Assembly (which receives it), without altering utility rate policies or consumer obligations. The bill does not create new rate standards but streamlines how the PUC shares comparative data with lawmakers.
