142	142	(g-7) to read as follows:
143	143	(d) The commission shall adopt and enforce rules relating to
144	144	the reliability of the regional electrical network and accounting
145	145	for the production and delivery of electricity among generators and
146	146	all other market participants, or may delegate those
147	147	responsibilities to an independent organization [responsibilities
148	148	for adopting or enforcing such rules. Rules adopted by an
149	149	independent organization and enforcement actions taken by the
150	150	organization under delegated authority from the commission are
151	151	subject to commission oversight and review and may not take effect
152	152	before receiving commission approval]. An independent organization
153	153	certified by the commission is directly responsible and accountable
154	154	to the commission. The commission has complete authority to
155	155	oversee and investigate the independent organization's finances,
156	156	budget, and operations as necessary to ensure the organization's
157	157	accountability and to ensure that the organization adequately
158	158	performs the organization's functions and duties. The independent
159	159	organization shall fully cooperate with the commission in the
160	160	commission's oversight and investigatory functions. The
161	161	commission may take appropriate action against an independent
162	162	organization that does not adequately perform the organization's
163	163	functions or duties or does not comply with this section, including
164	164	decertifying the organization or assessing an administrative
165	165	penalty against the organization. The commission by rule shall
166	166	adopt procedures governing decertification of an independent
167	167	organization, selecting and certifying a successor organization,
168	168	and transferring assets to the successor organization to ensure
169	169	continuity of operations in the region. The commission may not
170	170	implement, by order or by rule, a requirement that is contrary to an
171	171	applicable federal law or rule.
172	172	(g-1) The [independent organization's] bylaws of an
173	173	independent organization certified for the ERCOT power region [or
174	174	protocols] must be approved by [the commission] and [must] reflect
175	175	the input of the commission. The bylaws must require that every
176	176	member of the governing body be a resident of this state and must
177	177	prohibit a legislator from serving as a member. The governing body
178	178	must be composed of:
179	179	(1) two members [the chairman] of the commission as
180	180	[an] ex officio nonvoting members:
181	181	(A) one of whom must be the presiding officer of
182	182	the commission; and
183	183	(B) one of whom must be designated by the
184	184	presiding officer of the commission to serve a one-year term on the
185	185	governing body [member];
186	186	(2) the counsellor as an ex officio voting member
187	187	representing residential and small commercial consumer interests;
188	188	(3) the chief executive officer of the independent
189	189	organization as an ex officio nonvoting member; and
190	190	(4) eight members selected by the selection committee
191	191	under Section 39.1513 with executive-level experience in any of the
192	192	following professions:
193	193	(A) finance;
194	194	(B) business;
195	195	(C) engineering, including electrical
196	196	engineering;
197	197	(D) trading;
198	198	(E) risk management;
199	199	(F) law; or
200	200	(G) electric market design.
201	201	(g-6) In this subsection, a reference to a protocol includes
202	202	a rule. Protocols adopted by an independent organization and
203	203	enforcement actions taken by the organization under delegated
204	204	authority from the commission are subject to commission oversight
205	205	and review and may not take effect before receiving commission
206	206	approval. To maintain certification as an independent organization
207	207	under this section, the organization's governing body must
208	208	establish and implement a formal process for adopting new protocols
209	209	or revisions to existing protocols. The process must require that
210	210	new or revised protocols may not take effect until the commission
211	211	approves a market impact statement describing the new or revised
212	212	protocols. The commission may approve, reject, or remand with
213	213	suggested modifications to the independent organization's
214	214	governing body protocols adopted by the organization.
215	215	(g-7) The presiding officer of the commission shall
216	216	designate commissioners to serve terms on the independent
217	217	organization's governing body under Subsection (g-1)(1)(B) in the
218	218	order in which the commissioners were first appointed to the
219	219	commission. A commissioner may not serve an additional term until
220	220	each commissioner has served a term.
221	221	SECTION 8. Section 39.1511, Utilities Code, is amended by

223	223	follows:
224	224	(a) Meetings of the governing body of an independent
225	225	organization certified under Section 39.151 and meetings of a
226	226	subcommittee that includes a member of the governing body must be
227	227	open to the public. The bylaws of the independent organization and
228	228	the rules of the commission may provide for the governing body or
229	229	subcommittee to enter into executive session closed to the public
230	230	only to address [sensitive matters such as confidential personnel
231	231	information,] contracts, [lawsuits,] competitively sensitive
232	232	information, [or other] information related to the security of the
233	233	regional electrical network, or a matter which the commission would
234	234	be authorized to consider in a closed meeting under Chapter 551,
235	235	Government Code.
236	236	(a-1) An independent organization's governing body or a
237	237	subcommittee may adopt a policy allowing the governing body or
238	238	subcommittee to enter into an executive session closed to the
239	239	public and commissioners, including the commissioners serving as ex
240	240	officio nonvoting members, in specific circumstances to address a
241	241	matter authorized under Subsection (a). A policy described by this
242	242	subsection is not subject to approval by the commission.
243	243	SECTION 9. Subchapter D, Chapter 39, Utilities Code, is
244	244	amended by adding Section 39.1514 to read as follows:
245	245	Sec. 39.1514. COMMISSION DIRECTIVES TO INDEPENDENT
246	246	ORGANIZATION. (a) The commission may not use a verbal directive
247	247	to direct an independent organization certified under Section
248	248	39.151 to take an official action. The commission may direct the
249	249	organization to take an official action only through:
250	250	(1) a contested case;
251	251	(2) rulemaking;
252	252	(3) a memorandum; or
253	253	(4) a written order.
254	254	(b) The commission by rule shall:
255	255	(1) specify the types of directives the commission may
256	256	issue through a contested case, rulemaking, memorandum, or written
257	257	order;
258	258	(2) establish the conditions under which a commission
259	259	vote is required before issuing a directive;
260	260	(3) require that proposed commission directives be
261	261	included as an item on a commission meeting agenda and require the
262	262	commission to allow members of the public an opportunity to comment
263	263	on the agenda item; and
264	264	(4) establish a reasonable timeline for the release
265	265	before a commission meeting of discussion materials relevant to
266	266	any proposed commission directives included as agenda items for
267	267	that meeting.
268	268	(c) Notwithstanding another provision of this section, the
269	269	commission may use a verbal directive to direct an independent
270	270	organization to take an official action in an urgent or emergency
271	271	situation that poses an imminent threat to public health, public
272	272	safety, or the reliability of the power grid. The commission by rule
273	273	shall establish criteria for determining whether a situation is
274	274	urgent or an emergency under this subsection and establish a
275	275	process by which the commission will issue directives to the
276	276	independent organization under this subsection. If an independent
277	277	organization follows a verbal directive for more than 72 hours, the
278	278	commission shall use a process adopted under this section to
279	279	provide written documentation of the directive to the independent
280	280	organization.
281	281	SECTION 10. Section 39.155(d), Utilities Code, is amended
282	282	to read as follows:
283	283	(d) In a qualifying power region, the report [reports]
284	284	required by Subsection (c) [Subsections (b) and (c)] shall be
285	285	submitted by the independent organization or organizations having
286	286	authority over the power region or discrete areas thereof.
287	287	SECTION 11. Section 39.157(f), Utilities Code, is amended
288	288	to read as follows:
289	289	(f) Following review of the annual report [reports]
290	290	submitted to it under Section 39.155(c) [Sections 39.155(b) and
291	291	(c)], the commission shall determine whether specific transmission
292	292	or distribution constraints or bottlenecks within this state give
293	293	rise to market power in specific geographic markets in the state.
294	294	The commission, on a finding that specific transmission or
295	295	distribution constraints or bottlenecks within this state give rise
296	296	to market power, may order reasonable mitigation of that potential
297	297	market power by ordering, under Section 39.203(e), one or more
298	298	electric utilities or transmission and distribution utilities to
299	299	construct additional transmission or distribution capacity, or
300	300	both, subject to the certification provisions of this title.
301	301	SECTION 12. (a) This section takes effect only if the Act
302	302	of the 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023, relating to
303	303	nonsubstantive additions to and corrections in enacted codes
304	304	becomes law.

315	315	distribution constraints and system needs within the ERCOT power
316	316	region, alternatives for meeting system needs, and recommendations
317	317	for meeting system needs;
318	318	(2) summarize key findings from:
