The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5943, aims to eliminate the Combined Public Benefits Charge from electric utility bills for end-use customers. Specifically, the bill seeks to repeal the authority of electric distribution companies to include this charge on their bills and mandates the removal of any existing charges categorized under the "Combined Public Benefits Charge." Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any future implementation of such charges will require legislative approval through an affirmative vote by the General Assembly.

In summary, the bill introduces new legal language that prohibits the inclusion of the Combined Public Benefits Charge on electric bills unless approved by the General Assembly, effectively removing the charge from current law. This legislative change is intended to enhance oversight and accountability regarding public benefits charges associated with electric utility services.
