A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the creation of an interstate compact for a competitive electric transmission market using competitive bidding.

This resolution urges Kentucky and other states to work together to create a formal multi-state agreement that would require electric transmission infrastructure to be awarded through competitive bidding rather than automatically going to existing utility companies. The goal is to encourage competition in how major power lines and related infrastructure are built and managed. Because it is a resolution rather than a law, it expresses the legislature's position but does not create any new legal requirements on its own. Who it may affect: electric utility companies, energy developers, and Kentucky residents who pay electric bills.
