SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public utilities; proposed rate changes; public hearings. Requires the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) to conduct public hearings within the affected service territories of any public utility seeking to increase its rates, tolls or charges. Under current law, the SCC is required to conduct public hearings concerning proposed modifications to public utilities’ rates, tolls or charges if a protest or objection thereto is filed by or on behalf of the lesser of 150 or five percent of the customers or consumers or other persons subject to such rate, toll or charge. Under this bill, a public hearing would be required automatically if the public utility is seeking an increase in its rates, tolls or charges.
