Amend CSSB 7 in Section 37.060(i), Utilities Code, in SECTION
27 of the bill (Committee Printing page 11, lines 38-48) by
striking subsection (i) and substituting the following:
      (i)  Notwithstanding Subsection (h), if requested by a
municipally owned utility that is providing customer choice to all
of its retail customers, the commission shall examine all areas
within the municipally owned utility's service area that are also
certificated to one or more other retail electric utilities and
after notice and hearing, may amend the retail electric utilities'
certificates so that only one retail electric utility is
certificated to provide distribution services in the area, provided
that:
            (1)  the application is filed with the commission
within 12 months of the effective date of this provision and is
limited to single certification of the area within the
municipality's boundaries as of February 1, 1999;
            (2)  the commission preserves the right of an electric
utility or an electric cooperative to serve its existing customers
including any property owned or leased by any customer; and
            (3)  the municipality is a "member city" of a municipal
power agency as that term is used in Section 40.059.
