SB 2102 Tennessee Senate · 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.

SB 2102 requires Tennessee's Public Utility Commission to submit its annual report comparing utility rates (for telecommunications, electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater) between Tennessee and southeastern states via electronic means. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code sections to authorize this electronic submission method, replacing previous requirements for physical copies. This change directly affects the Public Utility Commission, streamlining how it delivers this comparative rate analysis to the General Assembly. The bill focuses solely on the reporting method, not on altering utility rates or regulations.
