27 Bills On Report
HB1320  |
AKA: Nuclear BillParaphrase: HB1320, by Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, creates the Affordable Energy Act, directing the Corporation Commission, upon the request of an applicant, to begin a proceeding to determine the need for an electrical power plant using nuclear material as fuel. It directs the commission in making its determination to consider the need for electric system reliability and integrity, the need for adequate electricity at a reasonable cost, the need for fuel diversity and supply reliability, whether the proposed plant is the most cost-effective alternative available and any conservation measures taken by the applicant that might mitigate the need for the proposed plant. The bill establishes guidelines for providing notice of the application and commission hearings. It requires the commission to establish alternative cost recovery mechanisms for the recovery of costs incurred in the siting, design, licensing and construction of a nuclear power plant within six months of the act’s enactment.

HB1331 |
AKA: Eminent domainParaphrase: HB1331, by Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow and Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, modifies the definition of “blighted area” as it relates to urban renewal to include conditions that are detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare of a municipality. It also provides definitions of “public use” and “economic development.” It prohibits the state or any political subdivision from using eminent domain or condemnation for urban renewal, unless it is necessary for public use, and requires clear and convincing evidence for such use. The measure prohibits the use of eminent domain or condemnation for urban renewal to take private property without the consent of the owner for private commercial enterprise, economic development or any other private use. It does allow such property to be transferred to private entities that are public utilities or common carriers, that occupy an incidental area within a publicly owned and occupied project and if the current condition of the property poses an existing threat to public health and safety and meets the definition of “blighted area.” The bill also provides a definition of “public use” as it relates to the use of lands for public schools, public buildings and educational institutions.

| HB1747 |
AKA: Transmission advisorParaphrase: HB1747, by Rep. Gus Blackwell, R-Goodwell and Sen. Mike Schulz, R-Altus, allows the Corporation Commission to employ, by contract, one person to act as an electric transmission system advisor to the commission, the Governor, the Legislature and the Attorney General, for the purpose of monitoring state, regional and federal activities relating to access to and reliability of the electric transmission system. The bill also requires that advisor to attend and participate in meetings of the Southwest Power Pool and defines further duties of the contractor and the commission in relation to the contractor. The CCR removed the requirement that the advisor be hired “by contract.” It also removed the requirement for the advisor to report to the Legislature, governor and attorney general. It places responsibility for hiring the advisor and establishing the advisor’s duties with the administrative director of the Corporation Commission. It deletes language directing the commission to enter into a competitive bidding process for contracting the advisor. The CCR also added language requiring the advisor to provide assistance to the commission on matters related to renewable energy. It also added language related to biodiesel, requiring all diesel fuel sold in the state on or after May 1, 2010, to contain at least 3 percent biodiesel fuel oil if there is a federal volume usage mandate for biomass-based diesel of greater than or equal to 500 million gallons per year. It sets it the biodiesel content at 4 percent when mandates reach 750 million and 5 percent when mandates reach 1 trillion gallons per year.

AKA: Nuclear incentivesParaphrase: HB1750, by Rep. Scott Martin, R-Norman and Sen. Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa, creates the Nuclear Energy Incentive Act. It allows an electric utility subject to rate regulation by the Corporation Commission or other organized electric service provider to elect to file an application seeking a determination of need to construct a nuclear power plant. The bill states that if the commission enters a determination of need, the power plant is to be considered used and useful and its costs can be subject to cost recovery rules. It directs the commission to enter such order within 180 days of the application being filed, after notice and hearing. It designates the Corporation Commission as the sole forum for the determination of such matters and issues addressed in the application. It establishes application criteria and guidelines to be considered by the Corporation Commission. It grants the Oklahoma Supreme Court the authority to review on appeal final orders or orders on reconsideration from the commission. The measure directs the commission to promulgate rules providing for alternative cost mechanisms, recovery of costs incurred by the utility and construction. The bill directs that a nine-member task force be appointed to study and make recommendations on an appropriate tax credit for entities investing in a nuclear power plant located in the state. It also modifies the definition of “project” under the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority Act. It also repeals language related to joint interest in an electric generator project and construction under the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority Act.

AKA: Airport ZoningParaphrase: HB2919, by Rep. T.W. Shannon, R-Lawton, creates the Aircraft Pilot and Passenger Protection Act. It states that construction of a structure used for a noise-sensitive purpose within a noise-sensitive area constitutes an incompatible use of land near a public-use airport and is regulated by the act. It requires someone to obtain a permit from the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission prior to constructing, installing or altering any noise-sensitive structure in a noise-sensitive area; any structure that would result in a total structure height of 150 feet above the established airport elevation and within 3 miles of a public-use airport; or any structure that is of greater height than a surface shaped like a trapezoid with certain dimensions. It establishes heights above which any structure is presumed to be a hazard to air navigation. It also states that the act does not prevent or preempt a municipality from adopting ordinances or regulations governing land use that may affect public-use airports. The measure also requires any person seeking a permit to provide written notice to the airport owner 30 days before applying. It states that a permit issued by the Aeronautics Commission is valid only if the proposed structure has been constructed within five years. It exempts structures that existed prior to the effective date of the act, but it states that alterations to existing structures will be subject to the act. The measure establishes penalties for violations. (Amended by House, Emergency Measure, Committee Substitute) |

| HB2973 |
AKA: Decommissioning/Insurance billParaphrase: HB2973, by Rep. Mike Sanders, R-Kingfisher and Sen. Bryce Marlatt, R-Woodward, creates the Oklahoma Wind Energy Development Act. It states that the owner of a wind energy facility is responsible, at its expense, for the proper decommissioning of the facility upon abandonment or the end of the useful life of the commercial wind energy equipment in the facility. It provides language for what constitutes proper decommissioning. The measure directs that the decommissioning of a wind energy facility or pieces of commercial wind energy equipment is to be completed by the owner of the facility within 12 months after abandonment or the end of the useful life of the equipment in the facility. It directs the Corporation Commission to take measures as necessary to complete decommissioning if the owner fails to complete the process. It allows a lease or other agreement between a landowner and a facility owner to be more restrictive. The measure further states that after the 10th year of operation of a wind energy facility, the owner is to file with the Corporation Commission evidence of financial security to cover the anticipated costs of decommissioning the wind facility, such as a surety or collateral bond, along with an estimate of the total cost of decommissioning prepared by a professional engineer. It states that failure to submit such information is punishable by an administrative penalty of up to $1,500 per day. It requires the owner or operator of a wind turbine or wind energy facility to provide a statement with certain information along with any payment to a landowner for use of the property. It gives the landowner on whose land a turbine is placed through a lease, easement or other arrangement to audit the records of the turbine or facility owner or operator to confirm the accuracy of any payments made or due to the landowner. The bill requires an owner or operator to report to the Corporation Commission the power generated from the turbine or facility, nameplate capacity and location. It also requires an owner or operator, prior to commencing construction, to obtain a broad form comprehensive general liability insurance policy with a limit of at least $5 million of combined single limit liability coverage per occurrence with the owner of the land where the turbine or facility is located named as an additional insured.

| HB3028 |
AKA: Speakers Energy Security ActParaphrase: HB3028, by Rep. Chris Benge, R-Tulsa and Sen. David Myers, R-Ponca City, creates the Oklahoma Energy Security Act, stating legislative intent to increase the use of renewable energy in the state by setting a renewable energy standard that will serve as the goal to be reached by 2015. The measure sets the standard at 15 percent of all installed capacity of electricity generated in the state from renewable energy sources by 2015. It also states legislative intent to promote natural gas energy development by establishing a natural gas energy standard. It states legislative intent that new fossil fuel generation facilities built or expanded in the state be powered by natural gas from Jan. 1, 2011, through Jan. 1, 2020. It directs electricity-generating entities choosing a fossil fuel other than natural gas to provide evidence to the Corporation Commission or other regulatory body that the fossil fuel is in the best interest of electric consumers. The measure also allows electricity-generating entities to use energy conservation measures to assist the state in meeting the renewable energy standard, and it directs the measures to be described to the Corporation Commission annually by March 1. It directs the commission to make the final determination of the amount of kilowatts per hour the electricity-generating entity saved and to what degree it will account toward meeting the renewable energy standard. The measure also states legislative intent to promote wind-energy development by increasing the capability of transmitting the electricity generated by wind, and it establishes a state goal to increase electricity transmission capacity so that the renewable energy goal of 15 percent can be reached by 2015. It directs the Corporation Commission and the state to work with the Southwest Power Pool to develop plans to expand transmission capacity in the state and monitor construction of new transmission facilities until 2020. It directs the commission to report on the progress of expanding transmission capacity by Jan. 1, 2014, and Jan. 1, 2017, with a final report on Jan. 1, 2020. The measure further states legislative intent to increase the number of public access compressed natural gas fueling stations along the interstate highway system, and it establishes a state goal to have at least one public CNG fueling station every 100 miles along the interstate highway system by 2015, with an increase to at least one every 50 miles by 2025. It allows the Department of Central Services’ Fleet Management Division to take steps to meet the state goal by cooperating with or entering into partnership agreements with private entities to construct the necessary CNG fueling stations for use by public, state and other political subdivision agencies.
