Consumer
Affairs Committee

| Greetings, | |
| Thank you for visiting the House Committee on Consumer Affairs web site.
As Chairman, I encourage you to visit this site regularly. You also can
sign up for my email alerts to be the first to
know about upcoming hearings in your area. Please be sure to share my
site with your friends, family and co-workers. This site was designed
with you, the consumer, in mind. The Consumer Affairs Committee has legislative jurisdiction over all public utilities that are regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC). Those areas include:
Even though the Committee generally has
jurisdiction over most public utilities, there are some industries that
are regulated by the Federal Government. These include cable and
wireless telephone carriers. However, if there is a suspected unfair
trade practice, the committee can address that issue through hearings
and legislative remedy. Municipal water authorities, rural electric
cooperatives, and electric and natural gas generation suppliers are not
regulated by the PUC. I hope this website proves useful. Best Regards
