Committee accepts two utility‑related RS bills: capital spending and transmission competition
Summary
Paul Snyder, representing Kansans for Lower Electric Rates, asked the Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications to introduce RS0266 (capital spending and return on equity adjustments) and RS0267 (transmission competition). The committee chair accepted both requests for introduction.
Paul Snyder, representing Kansans for Lower Electric Rates, asked the House Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications to introduce two Revisor’s Substitute (RS) bills: RS0266, described as relating to capital spending and adjustments on return on equity; and RS0267, described as relating to transmission competition.
Snyder said, ‘‘I have 2 bills. The first is r s 0266, dealing with capital spending and adjustments on return of equity. The other bill … is r s 0267 dealing with transmission competition,’’ and respectfully requested that the committee introduce both measures.
The chair accepted the introductions; the transcript records no roll‑call or formal recorded vote. No committee amendments or additional details about the bills’ contents were provided on the record. The committee did not schedule a bill‑specific hearing during this meeting.
Why it matters: RS0266 and RS0267 bear directly on investor‑owned utility regulation and transmission planning—subjects within the committee’s jurisdiction—and will likely shape subsequent hearings and stakeholder testimony if carried forward.
