Texas SB1312 amends the Utilities Code to prevent retail electric providers, power generation companies, aggregators, and other entities from disconnecting electric service to residential customers during extreme weather emergencies or on weekend days. An "extreme weather emergency" is defined as a period when the previous day's highest temperature did not exceed 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the temperature is predicted to remain at or below that level for the next 24 hours according to the nearest National Weather Service reports, or when the National Weather Service issues a heat advisory for.
