SENATE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, Regular Session 2021, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
Senate Bill 1281 (a reliability assessment of the ERCOT power
grid and certificates of public convenience and necessity for
certain transmission projects) to consider and take action on the
following matter:
Senate Rules 12.03(1) and (3) are suspended to permit the
committee to change, alter, or amend text which is not in
disagreement and add text on a matter which is not in
disagreement in proposed SECTION 1 of the bill by adding Sections
37.052(c)(1)(A) and (B), Utilities Code, to read as follows:
(1) the transmission line does not exceed:
(A) three miles in length, if the line
connects to a load-serving substation or metering point; or
(B) two miles in length, if the line connects
to a generation substation or metering point;
Explanation: The change is necessary to distinguish that
an electric transmission line to which Subsection 37.056(c),
Utilities Code, as added by this bill, applies must measure three
miles or less for a load-serving electric transmission line and
two miles or less for an electric transmission line that connects
to power generation.
