This bill amends Section 476.33 of the Iowa Code to establish new rights for individuals to intervene in proceedings conducted by the Iowa Utilities Commission. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection that grants the right to intervene to members of the general assembly, elected county or city officials, and any resident who can demonstrate a minimally plausible interest in the proceeding.

The bill aims to enhance public participation in utility-related matters by ensuring that a broader range of stakeholders, including elected officials and residents, can engage in the commission's proceedings. This change is intended to promote transparency and inclusivity in the regulatory process concerning utilities in Iowa.
