DESCRIPTION
This act revises the sunset on disclosure of municipal utility records. Section 610.021 currently provides that a municipal electric utility may close that portion of its records containing information regarding names of suppliers, cost of services, and plans concerning future marketing and service expansion areas. This provision is scheduled to terminate December 31, 2001, if electric utility restructuring is not implemented. This bill expands that exception to municipally owned natural gas services and extends the sunset to December 31, 2003,
if legislation authorizing electric utility restructuring is not enacted.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
