State Utility Commissions State utility commissions regulate consumer service and rates for gas, electricity and a variety of other services within your state. These services include rates for telephone calls and moving household goods. In some states, the utility commissions regulate water and transportation rates. Rates for utilities and services provided between states are regulated by the Federal government.

Many utility commissions handle consumer complaints. Sometimes, if a number of complaints are received about the same utility matter, they will conduct investigations.

State Weights and Measures Offices

State Weights and Measures offices enforce laws and regulations about the labeling, weight, measure or count of such packaged items as food and household products. These offices also check the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices, for example, supermarket scales, gasoline pumps, taxicab meters and rental car odometers.

Some city and county offices have weights and measures functions in addition to the state offices listed below. Contact the state office for the appropriate weights and measures office or check your local telephone directory under the government listings for your local weights and measures office. The office might be listed under either the city or county bureau of standards, agriculture or consumer protection.
