Relating to: prohibited employment for former members of the Public Service Commission.

SB 1034 prohibits former members of the Public Service Commission from working for compensation with investor-owned public utilities or transmission companies for 36 months after leaving office. Specifically, it bans employment in roles involving policy-making, executive decisions, operations management, or government relations at these companies. The law applies retroactively to those who left the Commission in the year before the bill's effective date. This directly affects former commissioners seeking jobs at regulated utility companies, creating a cooling-off period to prevent potential conflicts of interest. The bill establishes this restriction through new statutory language (19.45 (8m)) in the state code.
