MINOR
The bill was amended from Enrolled to Engrossed status, adding formatting details and inserting brackets around the phrase 'utilities Phase I and Phase II Utilities' to clarify the scope of utility regulation oversight. This change appears to be a technical amendment for clarity rather than a substantive policy shift.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on the State Corporation Commission's powers and duties, with no change to its applicability.
TECHNICAL
Added bracketed text around 'utilities Phase I and Phase II Utilities' in subdivision A to clarify the specific utilities under Phase I and Phase II oversight.
