The bill amends
the charter of the Bingham Wter District to change the procedure by which the
board of trustees receives compensation and changes the vote to amend the
bylaws to require only a simple majority. The Public Utilities Commission
(PUC) is required to convene a stakeholder group to examine issues relating
to the loss of customers by water utilities, including the effects this has
on utilities' ability to pay for infrastructure as well as the impact on
remaining customers. The PUC must report the findings of the stakeholder
group to the Legislature by February 15, 2013. These provisions result in a
minor increase in costs to the PUC which can be absorbed within existing
budgeted resources. |
