The bill amends Title 66 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new section, 2816, which mandates that electric distribution companies must be members of a regional transmission organization. This new requirement aims to enhance the structure and operation of the electric utility industry in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the bill stipulates that these companies must submit an annual report to the commission by February 1, detailing any recorded votes cast by the company or its affiliates at meetings of the regional transmission organization during the previous calendar year.

The report must include all recorded votes, votes cast by affiliates if the company did not vote, and a brief description of how each vote serves the public interest, with specific word count requirements for the descriptions. The bill also provides definitions for key terms such as "affiliate," "meeting," "recorded vote," and "regional transmission organization" to clarify the language and intent of the new regulations. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
