In SCS CSHB 216 (RLS), the minimum floor for power cost equalization (PCE) is 9.82 cents per kilowatt-hour, while HCS CSSB 106(FIN) sets the same floor at 9.5 cents. The practical effect of the difference is that if this bill were signed into law, effective July1, 1993 the minimum floor for PCE would be raised to 9.82 cents for approximately six weeks, and then would be lowered to 9.5 cents when HCS CSSB 106(FIN) takes effect in mid-August. The difference would likely cause difficulties for the state agency in administering the program and for public utilities in making billings using PCE. Because most of the changes in SCS CSHB 216(RLS) will take effect through HCS CSSB 106(FIN), and because of the potential for administrative errors and subsequent litigation if the minimum PCE floor changes in SCS CSHB 216(RLS) were to take effect, I believe that the veto of this bill is necessary.
