Relating to the creation of an anonymous reporting program for employees of certain generation facilities.

HB 4162 creates an anonymous reporting program for employees at power generation facilities, municipal utilities, or electric cooperatives operating within Texas' ERCOT grid region. The bill requires the independent organization overseeing ERCOT to establish this system, enabling workers to report safety or security threats without revealing their identity. The program mandates that the organization investigate all reports through necessary inspections. It directly affects energy sector workers who may face retaliation for raising concerns about facility reliability. The program takes effect September 1, 2025.
