What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Curb Private Utilities Corruption Act" or the "CPUC Act," seeks to amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. It proposes adding a standard regarding the public disclosure of meetings involving electric utilities. Specifically, it calls on each State to consider requiring the public disclosure of meetings held between State regulatory authority members or employees and representatives of electric utilities. States would be tasked with making a determination on this standard within one year of the bill's enactment.
