Public Service Commission will vote on revised transparency rule at September meeting; some groups still have concerns.

The Louisiana Public Service Commission plans to vote next month on a revised rule that requires intervening parties, including corporations and environmental groups, to disclose all out-of-state funding. Commissioner Eric Skrmetta originally proposed the rule, citing concerns about potential foreign interference in energy regulation. However, opponents worry the measure could curb participation in critical regulatory debates after pushing for the proposal to be significantly reworked.
