HB 25-1126

House Bill 25-1126 increases the number of members on Colorado's Public Utilities Commission from three to five. Two commissioners will represent the entire state, while three others will each represent a specific district: one for the Denver metro area, another for the western part of the state, and a third for the eastern region. This bill has been signed into law, meaning that the composition of the commission is now officially changed to better reflect geographic diversity across Colorado.
