Relating to notice provided to certain state and local officials regarding an appeal of a municipal order filed by a transmission and distribution utility in a ratemaking proceeding.

SB 1435 requires the Texas Public Utility Commission to notify state legislators and local government officials when a utility company appeals a city's rate order. Specifically, the commission must send notice to each state legislator whose district includes the affected city and to the city council and county commissioners. This applies only to appeals filed on or after September 1, 2025, and does not change how rates are set. The bill ensures elected officials are informed about utility appeals but does not alter the underlying rate decisions.
