The League remains focused intensively on its Making Democracy Work (MDW) campaign: voting and elections, redistricting, and opposition to constitutional convention resolutions. The League, as always, will attempt to advocate on all bills falling within our areas of interest as defined in state and national policies.

Utility Regulation
H.5118 and S.909 Rollback of public protections in utility regulation
H.5118 follows in that tradition of regulatory capture, depending on utilities to voluntarily give adequate attention to the interests of the public instead of focusing on their shareholders and their own interests. We are deeply concerned about the rollback of consumer protections of rate payers and urge this committee to reject this bill.
