Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt joined a bipartisan coalition of 18 states urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to take action to ensure that public utility companies pass along recent tax savings to consumers. The savings arise from the recently enacted federal tax reform plan that, reduced the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. As a result, public utilities now pay lower taxes than were anticipated when their regulated rates were set. AG Laxalt is urging federal regulators to act quickly to ensure that those tax savings are immediately passed on to consumers.
