BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of |
|
|
Texas, 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, That House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(a)(1), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to |
|
|
resolve the differences on House Bill No. 1386 (regulation of the |
|
|
decommissioning costs of certain nuclear-powered commercial |
|
|
electric generating units) to consider and take action on changing |
|
|
text that is not in disagreement in the proposed Subsection (k)(1), |
|
|
Section 39.206, Utilities Code, to read: |
|
|
(k) The commission shall adopt rules necessary to ensure |
|
|
that: |
|
|
(1) a power generation company remits sufficient funds |
|
|
to a nuclear decommissioning trust on an annual basis, including |
|
|
projected earnings to approximate the amount remaining to be |
|
|
accumulated to cover the cost of decommissioning a nuclear |
|
|
generating unit at the end of its operating license period divided |
|
|
by the remaining years of the license and in accordance with |
|
|
applicable state and federal laws and regulations or over a shorter |
|
|
period of time at the election of the power generation company; |
|
|
Explanation: The alteration of the text not in disagreement |
|
|
is necessary to clarify how the Public Utility Commission of Texas |
|
|
is to determine the annual amount of funds sufficient to pay the |
|
|
costs of decommissioning and decontaminating a nuclear generating |
|
|
unit. |
