3 2001, is amended to read as follows:
4 19. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPLEMENTATION, COST REVIEW,
5 AND COST RECOVERY.
6 It is the intent of the general assembly that the
7 board reinitiate the filing and evaluation of energy
8 efficiency plans by gas and electric utilities,
9 effective upon the effective date of this Act:
10 a. Gas and electric utilities required to be rate-
11 regulated under this chapter shall file energy
12 efficiency plans with the board. An energy efficiency
13 plan and budget shall include a range of programs,
14 tailored to the needs of all customer classes,
15 including residential, commercial, and industrial
16 customers, for energy efficiency opportunities. The
17 plans shall include rebates for the purchase and use

18 of energy efficient appliances. The plans shall
19 include programs for qualified low-income persons
20 including a cooperative program with any community
21 action agency within the utility's service area to
22 implement countywide or communitywide energy
23 efficiency programs for qualified low-income persons,
24 and shall also include a small business energy
25 assistance program to be developed by the energy
26 commission. Rate-regulated gas and electric utilities
27 shall utilize Iowa agencies and Iowa contractors to
28 the maximum extent cost-effective in their energy
29 efficiency plans filed with the board.
30 b. A gas and electric utility required to be rate-
31 regulated under this chapter shall assess potential
32 energy and capacity savings available from actual and
33 projected customer usage by applying commercially
34 available technology and improved operating practices
35 to energy-using equipment and buildings. The utility
36 shall submit the assessment to the board. Upon
37 receipt of the assessment, the board shall consult
38 with the energy bureau of the division of energy and
39 geological resources of the department of natural
40 resources to develop specific capacity and energy
41 savings performance standards for each utility. The
42 utility shall submit an energy efficiency plan ~~which~~
43 that shall include economically achievable programs
44 designed to attain these energy and capacity
45 performance standards.
46 The utilities shall make energy audits available to
47 all customers. Priority may be given to customers
48 with greater energy use, but the service shall not be
49 denied on the basis that the consumer purchases only a
50 selected product or products from the utility.

Page 3

1 c. The board shall conduct contested case
2 proceedings for review of energy efficiency plans and
3 budgets filed by gas and electric utilities required
4 to be rate-regulated under this chapter. The board
5 may approve, reject, or modify the plans and budgets.
6 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 17A.19,
7 subsection 5, in an application for judicial review of
8 the board's decision concerning a utility's energy
9 efficiency plan or budget, the reviewing court shall
10 not order a stay. Whenever a request to modify an
11 approved plan or budget is filed subsequently by the
12 office of consumer advocate or a gas or electric
13 utility required to be rate-regulated under this
14 chapter, the board shall promptly initiate a formal
15 proceeding if the board determines that any reasonable
16 ground exists for investigating the request. The

17 formal proceeding may be initiated at any time by the
18 board on its own motion. Implementation of board-
19 approved plans or budgets shall be considered
20 continuous in nature and shall be subject to
21 investigation at any time by the board or the office
22 of the consumer advocate.
23 d. Notice to customers of a contested case
24 proceeding for review of energy efficiency plans and
25 budgets shall be in a manner prescribed by the board.
26 e. A gas or electric utility required to be rate-
27 regulated under this chapter may recover, through an
28 automatic adjustment mechanism filed pursuant to
29 subsection 11, over a period not to exceed the term of
30 the plan, the costs of an energy efficiency plan
31 approved by the board, including amounts for a plan
32 approved prior to July 1, 1996, in a contested case
33 proceeding conducted pursuant to paragraph "c". The
34 board shall periodically conduct a contested case
35 proceeding to evaluate the reasonableness and prudence
36 of the utility's implementation of an approved energy
37 efficiency plan and budget. If a utility is not
38 taking all reasonable actions to cost-effectively
39 implement an approved energy efficiency plan, the
40 board shall not allow the utility to recover from
41 customers costs in excess of those costs that would be
42 incurred under reasonable and prudent implementation
43 and shall not allow the utility to recover future
44 costs at a level other than what the board determines
45 to be reasonable and prudent. If the result of a
46 contested case proceeding is a judgment against a
47 utility, that utility's future level of cost recovery
48 shall be reduced by the amount by which the programs
49 were found to be imprudently conducted. The utility
50 shall not represent energy efficiency in customer

Page 4

1 billings as a separate cost or expense unless the
2 board otherwise approves.
3 f. A rate-regulated utility required to submit an
4 energy efficiency plan under this subsection shall,
5 upon the request of the energy commission, or upon the
6 direct request of a state agency or political
7 subdivision to which it the utility provides service,
8 provide advice and assistance to a state agency or
9 political subdivision regarding measures ~~which~~ that
10 the state agency or political subdivision might take
11 in achieving improved energy efficiency results. The
12 cooperation shall include assistance in accessing
13 financial assistance for energy efficiency measures.
14 Sec. . Section 476.44, subsection 2, Code 2001,
15 is amended to read as follows:

16 2. a. An electric utility subject to this
17 division, except a utility ~~which~~ that elects rate
18 regulation pursuant to section 476.1A, shall not be
19 required to purchase, at any one time, more than its
20 scheduled percentage share of ~~one hundred five~~
21 ~~megawatts of power~~ its Iowa retail load from
22 alternative energy production facilities or small
23 hydro facilities at the rates established pursuant to
24 section 476.43. The board shall ~~allocate the one~~
25 ~~hundred five megawatts~~ make the allocations based upon
26 each utility's percentage of the total Iowa retail
27 peak demand, for ~~the~~ each year, beginning January 1,
28 ~~1990,~~ of all utilities subject to this section, based
29 on the following schedule:
30 (1) Until January 1, 2006, two percent.
31 (2) Beginning January 1, 2006, four percent.
32 (3) Beginning January 1, 2009, six percent.

37 (8) Beginning January 1, 2019, sixteen percent.
38 (9) Beginning January 1, 2021, twenty percent.
39 b. If a utility undergoes reorganization as
40 defined in section 476.76, the board shall combine the
41 allocated purchases of power for each utility involved
42 in the reorganization.
43 c. Notwithstanding the ~~one hundred five megawatt~~
44 current applicable maximum, the board may increase the
45 amount of power that a utility is required to purchase
46 at the rates established pursuant to section 476.43 if
47 the board finds that a utility, including a
48 reorganized utility, exceeds its ~~1990~~ previous Iowa
49 retail peak demand level by twenty percent, and the
50 additional power the utility is required to purchase

Page 5

1 will encourage the development of alternate energy
2 production facilities and small hydro facilities. The
3 increase shall not exceed the utility's increase in
4 peak demand multiplied by the ratio of the utility's
5 share of the ~~one hundred five megawatt~~ current
6 scheduled maximum to its ~~1990~~ Iowa retail peak
7 demand."

12 following:
13 "Sec. . Section 476.8, Code 2001, is amended to
14 read as follows:
15 476.8 UTILITY CHARGES AND SERVICE.
16 1. Every public utility is required to furnish
17 reasonably adequate service and facilities.
18 a. "Reasonably adequate service and facilities"
19 for public utilities furnishing gas or electricity
20 includes programs for customers to encourage the use
21 of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
22 b. The charge made by any public utility for any
23 heat, light, gas, energy efficiency and renewable
24 energy programs, water or power produced, transmitted,
25 delivered or furnished, or communications services, or
26 for any service rendered or to be rendered in
27 connection ~~therewith~~ with such service shall be
28 reasonable and just, and every unjust or unreasonable

29 charge for such service is prohibited and declared
30 unlawful. In determining reasonable and just rates,
31 the board shall consider all factors relating to value
32 and shall not be bound by rate base decisions or
33 rulings made prior to the adoption of this chapter.
34 2. The board shall have the authority to order a
35 rate-regulated public utility to construct an electric
36 generating facility, transmission facility, or both,
37 as necessary to ensure continued electric reliability,
38 and to maintain reasonably adequate, reliable, safe,
39 and cost-efficient electric service to Iowa consumers.
40 The prudent and reasonable costs incurred to construct
41 and operate such generating facility or transmission
42 facility shall be included in the determination of the
43 rates of the rate-regulated public utility.
44 3. The board, in determining the value of
45 materials or services to be included in valuations or
46 costs of operations for rate-making purposes, may
47 disallow any unreasonable profit made in the sale of
48 materials to or services supplied for any public
49 utility by any firm or corporation owned or controlled
50 directly or indirectly by such utility or any

Page 2

1 affiliate, subsidiary, parent company, associate or
2 any corporation whose controlling stockholders are
3 also controlling stockholders of such utility. The
4 burden of proof shall be on the public utility to
5 prove that no unreasonable profit is made.
6 4. The continued availability of reliable and
7 affordable electricity is critical to sustaining
8 existing levels of economic activity, providing for
9 future economic growth, and ensuring the education,
10 health, safety, and quality of life of individual
11 Iowans. Therefore, the general assembly finds and
12 declares that the public interest requires that the
13 board take such action as is necessary to cause the
14 construction of additional baseload electricity
15 generating capacity and necessary transmission
16 facilities in Iowa.
17 a. Each rate-regulated public utility shall submit
18 a plan to the board by April 1, 2002, to construct one
19 or more large baseload electricity generating
20 facilities in Iowa, as quickly as is practicable.
21 b. The board shall, after a contested case
22 proceeding, either approve the plan as submitted, or
23 approve the plan with such modifications as the board
24 deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this
25 subsection."
26 . By striking page 5, line 4 through page 6,

28 "1. a rate-regulated electric public utility shall
29 have installed electric generating capacity, adjusted
30 for purchases and sales, not less than its maximum
31 integrated hour demand for the year plus a reserve of
32 not less than fifteen percent of such demand. The
33 installed electric generating capacity shall include
34 not more than ten percent firm power purchased from
35 fossil-fueled or nuclear generation sources pursuant
36 to contracts executed, amended, or extended after
37 January 1, 2001, unless otherwise approved by the
38 board as necessary to assure adequate electric
39 generating capacity. The prudent and reasonable costs
40 incurred to construct, operate, and maintain electric
41 generating and transmission facilities shall be
42 included in the determination of the rates of the
43 rate-regulated electric public utility.
44 2. The board may approve a surcharge to retail
45 customers for the cost of capital being invested in
46 the electric power generating facility during the
47 period of construction, if the board finds that it is
48 in the public interest to provide an incentive to
49 ensure the construction of a new electric power
50 generating facility in Iowa.

Page 3

1 3. If retail rates for electric generation service
2 provided by rate-regulated electric utilities are
3 deregulated pursuant to Iowa or federal law, the board
4 shall determine the difference, if any, between the
5 market value and the book value of all of the
6 generation assets owned by a rate-regulated electric
7 utility. The board shall approve a charge to be paid
8 by the utility's retail customers over a reasonable
9 period to permit the utility to collect from such
10 customers the excess, if any, of the book value over
11 the market value of those generation assets. The
12 board shall approve a credit to be paid by the utility
13 to its retail customers over a reasonable period to
14 permit such customers to recover the excess, if any,
15 of the market value over the book value of those
16 generations assets.
17 4. The board shall report to the general assembly
18 by January 21, 2002, and biennially thereafter, on the
19 adequacy, reliability, and development of electric
20 generating and transmission facilities in the state.
21 The report may include recommendations for actions by

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE

A copy of the following communication was received and placed on
file:

March 30, 2001

The Honorable Mary Kramer
President of the Senate

State Capitol Building
L O C A L

Dear President Kramer:

I hereby transmit Senate File 66, an Act relating to state general fund expenditure
limitation requirements for transmission of the state budget by the Governor and
passage of the state budget by the General Assembly.

I am unable to approve Senate File 66. This bill makes changes to the state
expenditure limitation even though the present limitation accomplishes the purposes

for which it was created. This is an unnecessary and, in some instances, unworkable
revision to Iowa's original budget reform legislation.

A key part of Iowa's 1992 budget reform law was creating a mechanism for filling
the state's two reserve funds. One of those reserve funds, the economic emergency
fund, pre-dated the 1992 changes, but it had never been adequately maintained. The
expenditure limitation, which provides that only 99% of estimated revenues may be
spent, created a mechanism for filling those reserve funds.

That original expenditure limitation has worked very well. Both of the state's
reserves are filled to their statutory maximum. Combined, they contain nearly half a
billion dollars. Given that the present law has worked so well, there is no reason for
change.

Senate File 66 would change that original expenditure limitation by stipulating
that reversions (which are appropriated but unspent funds) not be considered in
calculating the expenditure limitation. This is an unnecessary alteration of the
expenditure limitation.

Every year, there are appropriated but unspent funds that are returned to the state
general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The expenditure limitation is meant to limit
expenditures. Reversions are, by their very nature, not expenditures.

Reversions are a very real aspect of budgeting, and it makes little sense to not
recognize that fact. According to the legislative fiscal bureau, over the last twenty
years reversions have averaged over $26 million a year.

Senate File 66 flies in the face of the legislature's own practice. The $26 million in
average unspent funds each year would be higher but for the fact that the legislature
has often chosen to fund technology projects with reversions. The state's successful
Y2K effort was started with a legislative appropriation of $15 million of anticipated
reversions in FY 1997. It makes no sense to assume that reversions will not exist for
the purpose of calculating the expenditure limit but then assume that they will exist
for purposes of making technology appropriations.

Iowa's 1992 budget reform effort has been successful because it was a workable
approach to limiting spending. This new limitation would also remove needed
flexibility in the budgeting process.

I have, for example, recommended salary savings in the FY 2002 budget through
workforce attrition. It is not possible to determine at this point exactly where this $4.3
million savings will be achieved; that will depend on which employees leave state
government over the course of that fiscal year. As a consequence, that savings is shown
as a reversion. To not reflect that savings in the calculation of the expenditure limit
takes away many of the tools that are necessary to make enterprise wide decisions
about expenditures.

For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove Senate File 66.

Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
