MODERATE
The bill was amended to reflect its progression through the legislative process, including new sponsors and a recommendation for a third reading. Substantively, the bill was restructured to apply specific outage management stress testing requirements to different utility types: electric and gas utilities under the Public Service Law, water utilities under the Public Authorities Law, and a new section was added for waterworks corporations. The reporting requirements were also updated to include the Governor and changed from immediate submission to an annual report.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded and reorganized to cover electric, gas, and water utilities under separate sections of the Public Service Law and Public Authorities Law, with specific provisions added for waterworks corporations.
ELIGIBILITY

The bill was amended to add Jacobson, Santabarbara, and Otis as sponsors and to advance the bill to a third reading.

New provisions were added to require waterworks corporations and municipal water systems to post outage stress test results online and submit annual reports.

REQUIREMENT

Reporting requirements for outage stress tests were changed from immediate submission to the legislature to an annual report submitted to the Governor and the legislature.

The section covering water utilities was reorganized and moved to a new section number (89-q) within the Public Service Law.
