Minor revenue increase - Other Special Revenue Funds
Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation will modify the standard the Public Utilities Commission will apply in reviewing and approving reorganizations and mergers involving Maine's largest utilities.  It will increase from $50,000 to $100,000 the amount of funding that the commission may obtain from an applicant to contribute toward the Commission's additional costs of processing the reorganization proceeding.  This proposal will result in a minor increase in Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Public Utilities Commission.
