House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the enactment of Chapter 67-A of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, known as the "Energy Utility Reporting Transparency Act." This legislation aims to establish annual consumption reporting mechanisms for energy utility providers, requiring the Public Service Commission (PSC) to publish data regarding which utilities offer these reports to property owners with multiple meters. The bill defines key terms such as "annual consumption report," "commission," and "energy utility," and mandates that the PSC publish a list of utilities that provide or do not provide the option for annual consumption reports by March 1st each year.

Additionally, the bill requires energy utilities to report to the PSC by January 15th each year on whether they offer the option for annual consumption reports. While the legislation does not mandate that utilities provide these reports, it does require them to disclose their service offerings to the PSC. The PSC is also tasked with creating any necessary rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
