This bill would change how appointments to the Public Service Commission are confirmed. Currently, if someone is appointed to the commission more than 90 days before a regular legislative session, that appointment must be approved by an interim joint legislative committee. This bill would remove that confirmation requirement. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who rely on the Public Service Commission to oversee utilities and other regulated services, as well as those involved in the appointment and oversight process for state boards.
