Amend CSSB 408 by adding the following new appropriately 
numbered sections and renumbering remaining sections 
appropriately:
	SECTION      .  Sections 39.353(a), (c), and (d), Utilities 
Code, are amended to read as follows:
	(a)  A person may not provide aggregation services in the 
state unless the person is registered with the commission as an 
aggregator. The commission shall register a municipality under this 
section pursuing citizen aggregation upon filing by a municipality 
of a resolution creating the municipal aggregation program passed 
by the governing body of the municipality.
	(c)  A person registering under this section shall comply 
with all customer protection provisions, all disclosure 
requirements, and all marketing guidelines established by the 
commission and by this title. A municipality pursuing citizen 
aggregation is free to negotiate customer protection provisions 
that exceed those imposed by the commission or by this title.
	(d)  The commission shall establish terms and conditions it 
determines necessary to regulate the reliability and integrity of 
aggregators, other than municipal citizen aggregators, in the state 
[by June 1, 2000].
	SECTION      .  Chapter 39, Utilities Code, is amended by 
adding a new Section 39.3536 to read as follows:
	(a)  In order to register with the commission under Section 
39.353 that a municipality is pursuing citizen aggregation, the 
governing body of a municipality shall adopt an ordinance or 
resolution providing for automatic enrollment of citizens of the 
political subdivision in aggregation services.  Upon registration 
with the commission under Section 39.353, the commission shall 
require the municipality to send to each citizen by mail a 60 day 
written notice that citizens served by an affiliated retail 
electric provider will be automatically enrolled unless a citizen 
expressly requests to not be enrolled.
	(b)  Upon registration of a municipality by the commission 
under Section 39.353, a municipality may require an affiliated 
retail electric provider and the transmission and distribution 
utility to provide to the municipality any information the 
municipality considers necessary to solicit or administer an 
aggregation program under this section, including the name, 
address, electric service identifier, and monthly usage of each 
residential customer who resides in the municipality.  The consent 
of a customer may not be required as a condition of providing 
information to a municipality under this subsection. The 
municipality may provide to a third party or an aggregator 
information received under this subsection, but only for the 
purpose of bidding on, implementing, and administering the 
aggregation program.
	(c)  This section is not intended to abrogate an electric 
service contract between a citizen of any municipality and a 
competitive retail electric provider.  Residential customers who 
have previously switched from the affiliated retail electric 
provider may opt-in to the aggregation program upon expiration of 
their existing contract.
	(d)  Any savings attributable to the aggregation program 
shall be directed to citizen participants except that the political 
subdivision may recover its actual administrative costs.
	(e)  The authority granted to municipalities under this 
section applies only to municipalities with populations of 125,000 
or less.
