This resolution directs the Public Service Commission to formally review the fuel adjustment charge that appears on utility bills, with the goal of reducing how much that charge fluctuates. The process would include opportunities for the public to weigh in, and the Commission would be required to update its rules and report back to the legislature by the end of 2026. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately if passed. Who it may affect: Kentucky utility customers, particularly households and businesses that pay electricity or gas bills with a fuel adjustment charge.
