Bill	Public Utilities Commission Deregulate Nonprofit Water Utilities	Under current law, the public utilities commission is directed to grant simplified regulatory treatment to water companies that serve fewer than 1,500 customers. The bill expands on this concept by deregulating water companies that are registered as nonprofits, so long as their rates, charges, and terms and conditions of service are just and reasonable. The commission retains the right to entertain a complaint of unjust or unreasonable rates or practices, and to take remedial action, if the complaint is authorized by specified public officials or other persons.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2018A	SB 18-134	Colorado SB 18-134 (2018A)	bill		enacted	Jeni James Arndt John Cooke	9	12	2	2018-01-29T07:00:00+00:00	2018-04-02T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/b049ab32-d76f-4425-a98a-ee15d2c9245a	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb18-134	62178c922889097e4d040b69c15896dca300c73cee60e17750e5e9dbb6e0a015	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
