The Georgia Public Service Commission has issued an order to ensure utility service for TSA agents in Georgia, who live in the state without pay due to the partial government shutdown. The order was approved unanimously by Commissioner Tricia Pridemore, who noted that many TSA agents are taking second jobs to make ends meet. The Department of Homeland Security has warned that future pay remains uncertain as the shutdown continues. The utility protection only applies to utilities that fall under the jurisdiction of the commission. It is unclear when the shutdown will end, as Congress continues to debate funding for immigration enforcement.
