Advance Program Aimed at Confidence and Jobs in Utilities
In Harrisburg on March 28, Republican Representative Thomas B. Shoexham proposed a legislative program to stimulate confidence and boost employment in Pennsylvania utility companies. He said eight to ten amendments to the 1987 public utility law would be introduced this week to curb the utility commission’s power over temporary rules, clarify regulatory features, set time limits for temporary rates, and require utility budgets. The plan preserves the requirement that utilities pay investigation costs. Democrats called the measure unconstitutional, arguing constitutional amendment is needed. Another measure would exempt municipally owned plants leased to private firms from PUC regulation.
