Exempts the Indiana utility regulatory commission (IURC) from providing a live transmission of hearings regarding which a stenographic record is required to be made and kept by statute. Adds language to the chapter in the Indiana Code governing the IURC to require the IURC to provide on a publicly accessible platform a live transmission of any IURC proceeding that will include: (1) an examination of witnesses; (2) a nonprocedural discussion between one or more parties to the proceeding; (3) questions from one or more of the commissioners regarding the substance of the case; or (4) a contested procedural matter. Requires the IURC to issue a general administrative order to implement a policy that governs the live transmission of IURC proceedings and that includes processes: (1) by which members of the public may request and access the live transmission of an IURC proceeding; and (2) for archiving the live transmission of an IURC proceeding.
