This communication is sent to keep us informed as to specific legislation being proposed at the State Capitol that could negatively impact the City and our local natural gas consumers in Georgetown. There are several specific bills being submitted by the Gas Industry that seems to be a full assault on the Legislature at the expense of the retail consumers of these companies. Below is a copy of what is being proposed and the concerns we should all have if they are adopted. As updates are received, I will make sure that you are kept in the loop as to what our representation in Austin is doing to protect our customers and the ATM Cities coalition. ATMOS TEXAS MUNICIPALITIES: The gas utilities have been on the warpath. They are pushing legislation which would largely eliminate general rate cases in favor of annual rate increases based upon a formula. They have pushing SB 1309/HB 2435 which would allow for annual increases imposed by the Railroad Commission with little review. HB 2405 had a hearing in the House Energy Resources Committee but has not been voted out of committee because of the opposition by cities!!! TML has joined with us to oppose the bill. Gas utilities are still trying mightily to get the bill out of committee. SB 1309 had a hearing in the Senate Business and Commerce Committee this morning. James Brazell, a former hearings examiner at the Railroad Commission and the PUC, testified for ATM against the bill. Arlington, Dallas and Wichita Falls also testified against the bill. The greatest danger right now is the possible amendment of the Railroad Commission sunset bill, SB 655, when it hits the House floor on Thursday. I expect HB 2435/SB 1309 to be offered as an amendment. Your help will be needed. Amendments need to be pre -filed by noon tomorrow. 1 will probably not get to see them until noon tomorrow. Please be ready to send emails to your state representative. I will be sending out an emergency message tomorrow by 2:00 pm. I have prepared an amendment to SB 655 to transfer hearings on gas utility rate cases to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAR) and an amendment to stop gas utilities from putting in rates federal income tax amounts that the utilities do not pay to the IRS, commonly known as phantom taxes.
