Texas SB1435 mandates notice to state and local officials when a transmission and distribution utility appeals a municipal order in a ratemaking.

Texas SB1435 amends the Utilities Code to require the Public Utility Commission to notify specific state and local officials when a transmission and distribution utility files an appeal of a municipal order in a ratemaking proceeding. The notice must be sent to each legislator whose district includes the municipality and to the governing bodies of the municipality and the county. This change applies only to appeals filed on or after the act's effective date of September 1, 2025. Appeals filed before this date remain governed by previous laws.
