It was brought to my attention that the PA Public Utility Commission does not have a centralized, searchable database with information regarding rate increases.
 
I will be introducing legislation to require that the PUC create this database so consumers can easily access the information via a publicly accessible website. This legislation is to create transparency, accountability and protect consumers.
 
This is a common-sense piece of legislation to establish a database that essentially should already be available. The PUC has the information, but has to be looked up by a case-by-case basis. A centralized, searchable database only makes sense.
 
I hope you will join me in cosponsoring this important legislation.  If you have any questions, please contact Fallon Binner of my office at fbinner@pasen.gov.
