House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill, with the following changes. Provides that the corporate authorities of a municipality or county board of a county may adopt an ordinance, under which it may aggregate residential retail electrical loads located, respectively, within the municipality or county and, for that purpose, may solicit bids and enter into service agreements to facilitate for those loads the sale and purchase of electricity and related services and equipment. Removes a provision that requires that an aggregation ordinance specify whether the aggregation will occur automatically for persons pursuant to an opt-out provision. Provides that nothing in the amendatory provisions authorizes the aggregation of electric loads that are served or authorized to be served by an electric cooperative as defined by and pursuant to the Electric Supplier Act or loads served by a municipality that owns and operates its own electric distribution system (instead of the aggregation of retail electric loads of an electric load center that is located in the certified territory of a nonprofit electric supplier or an electric load center served by distribution facilities of a municipal electric utility). Removes a provision that provides that if an aggregation ordinance specifies that aggregation shall occur automatically, the corporate authorities or county board shall certify the question of the authority to aggregate in accordance with the Election Code. Removes a provision concerning the prohibition of certain actions by the corporate authority or county board with respect to automatic aggregation. Provides that any established load aggregation plan shall provide for universal access to all applicable residential customers and equitable treatment of applicable residential customers. Removes a provision that requires that the plan include the terms and conditions under which retail customers who have chosen to opt out of the aggregated service may take service from the aggregated entity. Removes the requirement that it shall be the duty of the aggregated entity to fully inform retail customers in advance that they are to be automatically enrolled and that they have the right to opt out of the aggregated entity without penalty; however, adds a provision that the duty is to fully inform retail residential customers that they have the right to opt into the aggregation program. Removes provisions that require that the Illinois Commerce Commission adopt rules concerning the program.
