HB 517 (BR 2035) - M. Brown
AN ACT relating to electric cooperative utilities.
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 278 to authorize any electric cooperative to decrease their rates, or to adjust their rates to pass through changes in their wholesale supplier's rates, without approval by the Public Service Commission so long as the changes are allocated between consumer classes in a way that does not change the prior rate design; exempt from the automatic adjustments contracts with other stipulations; direct the Public Service Commission to set filing and notice requirements by administrative regulation; amend KRS 278.010 to add definitions.
HB 517 - AMENDMENTS
HFA (1, M. Brown) - Allow the rate adjustments provided for in the bill to apply to contracts under which rates are subject to adjustments ordered by the Public Service Commission.
SFA (1, R. Leeper) - Require the Public Service Commission to promulgate administrative regulations to define proportional for purposes of rate review and to determine whether any increases in rates should be absorbed at the cooperative's current revenue levels.
