States would consider banning former regulators from lobbying their old agencies for two years.
This bill would create a new federal standard suggesting states ban former state utility regulators from lobbying their old agency for two years. State utility commissions would have to consider this ban for electric utilities within two years. This could change how former regulators interact with the agencies they once oversaw.
Today, federal law does not require states to consider or implement a two-year lobbying ban for former state utility regulators. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new federal standard, and states would be required to review and decide on such a ban within two years, potentially leading to new rules for former regulators.
