 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to authorizing the
 public service commission to establish rules to limit a utility's
 ability to recover certain operating expenses

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 12 of section 66 of the public service law is
 2 amended by adding a new paragraph (n) to read as follows:
 3 (n) (i) The commission is authorized and directed to, no later than
 4 January first, two thousand twenty-seven, establish rules to limit a
 5 utility's ability to recover its direct or indirect costs associated
 6 with its attendance in, participation in, preparation for, or appeal of
 7 any rate proceeding conducted before the commission. Such costs shall
 8 include, but need not be limited to, attorneys' fees, fees to engage
 9 expert witnesses or consultants, the portion of employee salaries asso-
 10 ciated with such attendance, participation, preparation or appeal of a
 11 rate proceeding and related costs identified by the commission.
 12 (ii) In establishing such rules the commission may consider: (A)
 13 setting an overall percentage of the utility's expenses in a rate case
 14 that are not recoverable; (B) setting a baseline of the reasonable cost
 15 of participation in a rate case; and (C) establishing discovery parame-
 16 ters and what information in a proceeding must be disclosed to interven-
 17 ers and to the commission to reduce time and costs associated with a
 18 lengthy discovery process.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 20 it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
