|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to certain fees, charges, or credits based on a customer's |
|
|
electricity use in areas where competition has been introduced. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 39, Utilities Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Section 39.113 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 39.113. CERTAIN USAGE FEES OR CREDITS. A retail |
|
|
electric provider may not bill a customer for a charge or fee or |
|
|
award a customer a bill credit based on whether the customer has |
|
|
used at least a certain amount of electricity in a particular |
|
|
period. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|

|
|
between a customer and a retail electric provider entered into |
|
|
before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in |
|
|
effect when the contract was entered into, and the former law is |
|
|
continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
