The content of this Bill was previously included in a Bill several years ago and was thrown out by the Iowa Supreme Court. The Transmission companies are also trying to get this same request approved by FERC. Several states have either revoked their ROFR or has been thrown out by that states' Supreme Court due to their interpretation as it being considered unconstitutional.This link provides a good discussion on why a transmission ROFR is not a good idea:https://www.eenews.net/articles/utilitiespushtoextendmonopoliesmayshapegridsfuture/This website also:https://electricitytransmissioncompetitioncoalition.org/Please do not pass this bill out of subcommittee!
