The House Committee on Transportation, Utilities and Infrastructure considered a package of bills Tuesday – House Bill 403, House Bill 399 and House Bill 392. Governor Kay Ivey ahead of that committee meeting lent her support for these three bills.
The governor issued the following comment yesterday:
“For Alabama to remain the best state to live, work and raise a family, we have to grow the state, while keeping our cost of living low. That certainly includes our utilities, and we are seeing discussions in states around the country about best ways to lower those bills for families. Through a package of bills, we are taking steps to protect energy costs for Alabamians, while keeping our state competitive for further economic development.
“In addition to maintaining Alabama’s low cost-of-living and growing business and industry, I have also been proud to make strong appointments to the Public Service Commission specifically. My appointments of PSC President Cynthia Almond and PSC Commissioner Chris Beeker show what a future Administration could do to serve the people of Alabama well through this regulatory commission. I thank the Legislature for working on this very relevant issue.”
