Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment strikes and replaces the bill. It removes all General Fund appropriations from the bill. As amended, 
the bill retains the Other Special Revenue Funds (OSRF) allocations to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) funded 
from assessments on utilities for one additional Staff Attorney position related to procurement activities. The amended 
bill also retains provisions that allow the Governor's Energy Office to request funding from the PUC, which may 
result in additional OSRF expenditures for the PUC. Any additional costs to other agencies impacted by the provisions 
of the bill are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
