Agency: Commerce

Line Item: Office of Consumer Services Professional and Technical Services

Function

The Office of Consumer Services hires expert witnesses to perform special studies and appear in rate cases to represent the public consumer utility user perspective. These hearings are cyclical in nature based on requests for increases in rates by Utility Firms. These funds have traditionally been non-lapsing and have been appropriated in a separate line item.

Intent Language

    Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Professional and Technical Services Fund of the Office of Consumer Services in Item 29 of Chapter 10, Laws of Utah 2012, shall not lapse at the close of Fiscal Year 2013.

Funding Detail

Funding for the Office of Consumer Services Professional and Technical Services program comes from the Public Utilities Regulatory Fund.
