1 1 Amend House File 2530 as follows:
1 2 #1. By striking page 157, line 24, through page
1 3 158, line 31, and inserting the following:
1 4 "1. PURPOSE. An intervenor fund in the amount of
1 5 two million one hundred thousand dollars is created,
1 6 to be administered by the board. The fund shall be
1 7 used to reimburse qualified not-for-profit entities
1 8 that intervene in rulemaking proceedings before the
1 9 board associated with rules that are required to be
1 10 proposed by a specific date established by chapter
1 11 476B.
1 12 2. INTERVENOR REQUIREMENTS. In a rulemaking
1 13 proceeding associated with rules that are required to
1 14 be proposed by a specific date established by chapter
1 15 476B, the board may compensate an intervenor
1 16 participating in the rulemaking proceeding that is not
1 17 a delivery service provider, competitive electric
1 18 service provider, or other entity engaged in the
1 19 electric business, for some or all of the reasonable
1 20 costs of participation in the proceeding if the board
1 21 finds both of the following:
1 22 a. The intervenor is a not-for-profit entity
1 23 having at least one hundred members who are residents
1 24 of this state.
1 25 b. Participation by the intervenor is necessary to
1 26 provide for the record an adequate presentation of a
1 27 significant position in which the not-for-profit
1 28 entity has a substantial interest, and such an
1 29 adequate presentation would not be possible without a
1 30 grant of compensation.
1 31 3. INTERVENOR FINANCING. The board shall
1 32 compensate a qualified not-for-profit entity up to ten
1 33 thousand dollars for the actual, reasonable costs
1 34 incurred by the entity in the rulemaking proceeding.
1 35 However, the board shall not award amounts for
1 36 reimbursement in excess of one hundred thousand
1 37 dollars per rulemaking proceeding. A qualified not-
1 38 for-profit entity may join with one or more other
1 39 qualified not-for-profit entities to intervene in a
1 40 rulemaking proceeding without prejudicing the
1 41 eligibility of any of the entities for compensation
1 42 under this section. If more than ten qualified not-
1 43 for-profit entities request reimbursement in a
1 44 rulemaking proceeding and the total amount requested
1 45 from all qualified not-for-profit entities is greater
1 46 than one hundred thousand dollars, the board shall
1 47 determine the method for distribution of the available
1 48 funding.
1 49 4. SOURCE OF FUNDS. A total of two million one
1 50 hundred thousand dollars shall be provided for
2 1 intervenor compensation from the interim funding
2 2 mechanism established under section 476B.13,
2 3 subsection 5, paragraph "c". The board shall request
2 4 up to two million one hundred thousand dollars, on an
2 5 as needed basis, for distribution to qualified not-
2 6 for-profit entities or for reimbursement of the
2 7 board's administrative expenses related to proceedings
2 8 involving such intervenors. Administrative expenses
2 9 shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars in
2 10 total.
2 11 5. IMPLEMENTATION. The board shall propose rules
2 12 to implement this section on or before July 1, 2000."
