PUBLIC UTILITY LABOR FORCE

Introduced·2/6/25

Illinois HB3282 amends the Public Utilities Act to regulate substantial changes in public utility labor forces.

HB3282 amends the Public Utilities Act by adding Section 8-101.1, which mandates that public utilities ensure they have the necessary labor force to fulfill their duties. The bill requires public utilities to notify the Illinois Commerce Commission at least 45 days before making any substantial change in their labor force. This change is defined as a greater than 5% reduction in the total labor force or a significant alteration in labor force composition. The report accompanying the notice must detail the reasons for the change and assess its impact on public utility services.
