We will provide information about the scope of this rule update and gather input to inform draft rule language. We’ll use your feedback to inform the formal draft rule, which we intend to propose in Fall 2025.

This is one of three in person open house sessions this fall. We are also hosting two vitural listening sessions, and an online survey. Read the focus sheet.
