Bill Analysis
SB 76 would create a grid security council of six members appointed by the governor from various agencies, departments, and power generation companies. The council would monitor economic, environmental, regulatory, and technological developments that may affect the security of the electric grid. The council would report to the legislature on the security of the grid and receive no compensation.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Texas Action recommends supporting SB 76 because it promotes limited government by providing for the security of the electric grid, a vital role of government.
