End PG&E Lobbying Act

This bill would add a new federal standard to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Under the standard, a former member of a state utility regulatory body could not, for 2 years after leaving, appear, lobby, or practice before that body to influence its decisions or gain non-public information, or be paid for work on matters before it. Each state regulatory body would have to begin considering whether to adopt this standard within 1 year and make a decision within 2 years. States that already adopted a similar standard, held a proceeding on it, or had their legislature vote on it in the prior 3 years would be exempt from these deadlines.
