This resolution directs Kentucky's Public Service Commission to review the fuel adjustment charge that appears on utility bills, with the goal of reducing how much that charge swings up and down. The Commission would be required to gather public input, update its rules, and report back to the legislature, all on a set schedule through the end of 2026. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately if passed. Who it may affect: Kentucky residents and businesses that pay utility bills, particularly those who have seen unpredictable changes in their energy costs.
