Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment adds an emergency preamble and clause, clarifies that the costs of a management audit may be allocated to ratepayers or shareholders of an investor-owned utility and requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to report back on whether the PUC has exercised its authority to allocate the cost of a management audit to ratepayers and shareholders of an investor-owned public utility. Any additional costs to the PUC as a result of reporting requirements are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
