SB177 allows a circuit court judge or Supreme Court justice to temporarily serve on the Public Utilities Commission when a regular commissioner becomes unable to work due to disqualification or incapacity. This change makes it easier to keep the commission functioning during unexpected vacancies by tapping judges who are already state employees rather than having to find an outside replacement.
