What’s in it

This bill relates to rate increase notice requirements for public utilities. The bill modifies the date specified public utilities shall notify their customers of a proposed rate or charge increase from to days before the public utility files an application with the Iowa utilities board for the proposed rate or charge increase. The bill provides that a notice relating to rate increase information shall include an estimate of the bill impact for a typical customer, an explanation of the Iowa utilities board’s rate increase review process, and that the customer has a right to file an objection and request a public hearing.
