A San Antonio State representative plans to file two bills in the Texas Legislature regarding the power crisis that has left millions of Texans without electricity and water.
According to a news release posted on Twitter, the first bill Republican Rep. Steve Allison is drafting will require the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) to enact comprehensive rules, mandating each energy operator to fully weatherize and maintain each coal, gas, nuclear, and wind plant to protect from severe weather conditions.
“This must not be a suggestion or request for study or report, but a mandate that such weather protections be in place to guard against the freezing consequences Texans are currently experiencing,” said Allison.
Allison says he is also planning to file a bill that would require the PUC to establish rules requiring that each energy provider enact procedures for including public school facilities in emergency priority categories for grid and distribution purposes.
