Current Bill Summary

SB 185 - Currently, Section 386.266, RSMo, provides certain utilities the opportunity to apply for alternate rate schedules in several circumstances. This act removes two of these options. It removes the option for gas utilities to apply for alternate rate schedules due to a variation in weather and/or conservation and removes the option for electric, gas or water utilities to apply for alternate rate schedules due to costs related to environmental regulations.

This act is similar to SB 1080 (2008), SB 94 (2007), and SB 880 (2006).
