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 agreement that would require electric transmission projects to go through a competitive bidding process. The goal is to open up the market so multiple companies can compete to build and manage the power lines that carry electricity to homes and businesses. Because this is a resolution rather than a law, it expresses the legislature's position but does not create new legal requirements on its own. Who it may affect: electric utility companies and potentially electricity customers across Kentucky and neighboring states.
