Proposed Bill No. 6058, introduced by REP. HOXHA of the 78th District, seeks to amend title 16 of the general statutes to address the "Combined Public Benefit Charge" that appears on electric bills. The bill proposes a suspension of the assessment of these charges when the retail cost of power exceeds 17.01 cents per kilowatt hour, considering both supply and delivery services. This change would effectively provide relief to consumers when electricity prices are high.

The purpose of the bill is straightforward: to suspend the combined public benefit charge. This suspension would only be triggered under the specific condition where the cost of electricity surpasses the stated threshold. The bill has been referred to the Committee on ENERGY AND TECHNOLOGY for consideration. No specific insertions or deletions from the current law are detailed in the provided text.
