A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to certain fees, charges, or credits based on a customer's
electricity use in areas where competition has been introduced.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 39, Utilities Code, is
amended by adding Section 39.113 to read as follows:
Sec. 39.113. CERTAIN USAGE FEES OR CREDITS. A retail
electric provider may not bill a customer for a charge or fee or
award a customer a bill credit based on whether the customer has
used at least a certain amount of electricity in a particular
period.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to a contract between a customer and a retail electric provider
entered into on or after the effective date of this Act. A contract
between a customer and a retail electric provider entered into
before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in
effect when the contract was entered into, and the former law is
continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
