SENATE RESOLUTION
         BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, Regular Session 2021, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
  suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
  conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
  Senate Bill 1281 (a reliability assessment of the ERCOT power
  grid and certificates of public convenience and necessity for
  certain transmission projects) to consider and take action on the
  following matter:
         Senate Rules 12.03(1) and (3) are suspended to permit the
  committee to change, alter, or amend text which is not in
  disagreement and add text on a matter which is not in
  disagreement in proposed SECTION 1 of the bill by adding Sections
  37.052(c)(1)(A) and (B), Utilities Code, to read as follows:
               (1)  the transmission line does not exceed:
                     (A)  three miles in length, if the line
  connects to a load-serving substation or metering point; or
                     (B)  two miles in length, if the line connects
  to a generation substation or metering point;
         Explanation: The change is necessary to distinguish that
  an electric transmission line to which Subsection 37.056(c),
  Utilities Code, as added by this bill, applies must measure three
  miles or less for a load-serving electric transmission line and
  two miles or less for an electric transmission line that connects
  to power generation.
