Confidential utility filings stay private unless approved

The law keeps certain utility records nonpublic unless the Commission decides release is justified. The Commission must protect confidential materials, including by issuing protective orders and holding closed hearings. In a closed hearing, records and transcripts stay sealed and participants cannot share them without Commission approval or a court order. A representative of the Commission’s Regulatory Operations Staff and the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection may attend and review the confidential materials. The Commission must then decide in a public meeting what can be released without exposing confidential details; releasable parts enter the record and the rest stay sealed. Sharing such materials with these reviewers does not waive any legal privilege as long as public disclosure remains barred.
