The House of Representatives, voting 170-4-0, approved on third and final reading on Wednesday a measure seeking to reform and restructure the Energy Regulatory Commission.

House Bill 11373 or the proposed ERC Reform Act seeks to reconstitute the ERC as an independent, accountable, quasi-judicial, and rule-making body. It stipulates that the ERC shall be allowed to use 50% of its revenues generated from the collection of fees, assessments, licenses, and other charges, and how such amount shall be utilized.

 The bill mandates the protection and promotion of consumer interests. It stipulates the fines and penalties, which the ERC may impose.
