HB 102 -- Public Service Commission Orders

Sponsor:  Mays (50)

This bill makes municipally-owned gas plants responsible for
paying not less than $100 and no more than $2,000 per offense
for violations of certain laws and Public Service Commission
rules.  Currently, the law applies to any corporation, person,
or public utility.

The bill also adds a provision for federally required state
remedies for violations of federal gas pipeline safety
standards.  The state remedy is a fine not to exceed $10,000 per
violation up to a maximum of $500,000 for any related series of
violations.  The bill establishes elements for the commission to
consider in determining the amount of the penalty.
