Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Raises the electric utility site-plan review fee cap to $100,000.

This bill raises the cap on the administrative fee the Public Service Commission may charge to study a proposed electric utility 10-year site plan, from $1,000 to $100,000 per plan -- a hundredfold increase.

The fee stays discretionary: the commission still must hold a hearing before setting it, and $100,000 is a ceiling, not a fee it must charge.

The increase only takes effect if a companion bill rewriting the same statute becomes law in the same legislative session, since this bill amends that companion's version of the text, not the statute as it exists today.
