Adds to existing law to prohibit public utilities from using customer funds for certain lobbying expenses.

This legislation adds a new section to Idaho Code that prohibits public utilities from using customer funds for political or lobbying activities. It ensures that costs related to influencing elections, supporting political candidates, or engaging in government policy advocacy cannot be passed on to ratepayers. If a utility is found to have violated this rule, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission will require a refund to customers and may impose fines.
