Fiscal Detail and Notes
Authorizing the Office of Public Advocate (OPA) to represent and promote the interests of the public in appropriate proceedings of the Legislature and regional or national forums including those pertaining to independent system operators or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission may result in minor increased costs which the OPA can absorb within existing budgeted resources.  Repealing the Railroad Crossing Information Council will relieve the OPA of the burden of serving on the council and may result in minor savings to the OPA.
