What’s in it

This bill relates to the review by the Iowa utilities board (board) of specified provisions and utility ratemaking procedures. The bill provides that the board shall conduct an independent review of current Iowa Code provisions and ratemaking procedures to determine whether revised provisions and different procedures would result in more cost-effective rates that reflect a utility’s cost of providing service to its customers in the state. The consumer advocate, rate-regulated utilities, and other interested persons shall participate in the review. The board may utilize additional services to assist with the review and report. The board shall submit a report with findings and recommendations to the general assembly by January 1, 2024.
