Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.

Per-unit fines for modular and manufactured homes

The Public Service Commission can fine for each noncompliant unit. Each modular home, manufactured home, or RV counts as a separate violation. The maximum is $3,650 per violation and $4,562,282 for related violations within one year. Starting August 1 each year, these maximums rise by the CPI change using October-to-October data, rounded to the nearest dollar. Violations must be proven by clear and convincing evidence.

Stronger Public Service Commission fines and notice

The Public Service Commission can fine up to $10,000 per day for each proven violation by regulated carriers and licensees. Total penalties are capped at $2,000,000 per year for each violation; modular and manufactured housing cases use their own limits. The commission can also fine up to $100 per day when a business fails to file required reports, pay fees, or register, with each day after an order counting as a separate offense. The commission must send a written notice that lists the facts and laws, sets the hearing, and warns that unpaid fines may be collected in Lancaster County court. Violations must be proven by clear and convincing evidence.

Daily fines for 911 wireless violations

Wireless carriers face fines up to $10,000 per day for each violation of 911 system laws or related orders. The fine applies for each day the violation continues. Violations must be proven by clear and convincing evidence.

Penalties for natural gas utilities

The Public Service Commission can fine natural gas utilities $100 to $1,000 for each violation of the Natural Gas Regulation Act or related orders. The commission sets the amount based on how serious the violation is. The commission may settle or reduce the penalty before a hearing if all parties agree. Violations must be proven by clear and convincing evidence.
