The bill amends Title 66 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish requirements for electric distribution companies regarding their membership in regional transmission organizations. It mandates that these companies must be members of such organizations and outlines the obligation to submit an annual report to the commission by February 1. This report must detail any recorded votes cast by the electric distribution company or its affiliates at meetings of the regional transmission organization during the previous calendar year.
Additionally, the report must include specific information about the votes, including a brief description of how each vote serves the public interest, with a word limit of 20 to 100 words. The bill also provides definitions for key terms such as "affiliate," "meeting," "recorded vote," and "regional transmission organization." This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the decision-making processes of electric distribution companies within regional transmission organizations. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
