  1 17    476.22  DEFINITION.
  1 18    As used in sections 476.23 to 476.26, unless the context
  1 19 otherwise requires, "electric utility" includes a public
  1 20 utility furnishing electricity as defined in section 476.1 and
  1 21 a city utility as defined in section 390.1, but does not
  1 22 include an entity that directly or indirectly furnishes
  1 23 electricity produced by a cogeneration facility if such entity
  1 24 furnishes such electricity to no more than two users who are
  1 25 physically located within two miles of the cogeneration
  1 26 facility.  
  1 27                           EXPLANATION
  1 28    This bill relates to electric power generation facilities

  1 33 removes the applicability of Code chapter 476 regarding the
