Introduced Text

Missouri SB1712 establishes requirements for public hearings on utility rate increases.

Missouri SB1712 mandates that public hearings on utility rate increases must be held close to the residences of affected customers, with notice sent at least fourteen days prior. It allows affected ratepayers to testify and submit statements, which become part of the commission's record. The final order must detail how public testimony influenced the decision. The bill also requires ratemaking decisions to be just and reasonable, ensuring minimal ratepayer impact while maintaining safe and adequate service.
