Amend sec. 12, pages 2 and 3, by deleting lines 23 through 43 on page 2 and lines 1 through 25 on page 3, and inserting:
"Sec. 12. 1. The date upon which customers may begin obtaining generation, aggregation and any other potentially competitive service from an alternative seller must be no later than July 1, 2001, unless the commission determines that a different date is necessary to protect the public interest. If the commission has not authorized customers to begin obtaining any potentially competitive service from an alternative seller by February 1, 2001, the commission shall provide a report to the legislature on that date which:
(a) Explains the reason that the commission has not granted such an authorization; and
(b) States whether the commission will grant such an authorization by July 1, 2001.
2. The commission may:
(a) Establish different dates for the provision of different services by alternative sellers in different geographic areas; and
(b) Authorize, in gradual phases, the right to buy from alternative sellers.
3. The commission shall determine that an electric service is a potentially competitive service if provision of the service by alternative sellers:
(a) Will not harm any class of customers;
(b) Will decrease the cost of providing the service to customers in this state or increase the quality or innovation of the service to customers in this state;
(c) Is a service for which effective competition in the market is likely to develop;
(d) Will advance the competitive position of this state relative to surrounding states; and
(e) Will not otherwise jeopardize the safety and reliability of the electric service in this state.
4. If the commission determines that a market for a potentially competitive service does not have effective competition, the commission shall, by regulation, establish the method for determining prices for the service and the terms and conditions for providing the service. The regulations must ensure that the pricing method, terms and conditions are just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory. The regulations may include pricing alternatives which authorize the seller to reduce prices below maximum pricing levels specified by the commission or any other form of alternative pricing which the commission determines to be consistent with the provisions of this subsection. In determining whether a market for a potentially competitive service does not have effective competition pursuant to this subsection, the commission shall:
(a) Identify the relevant market;
(b) Identify, where feasible, the alternative sellers that participate in the relevant market; and
(c) Calculate, where feasible, the share of each participant in the market and evaluate the significance of each share.
The commission may reconsider any determination made pursuant to this subsection upon its own motion or upon a showing of good cause by a party requesting a reconsideration. Upon a finding by the commission that the market for a service previously found not to have effective competition has become effectively competitive, the commission shall repeal the regulations which established the pricing method for that service and the terms and conditions for providing that service.
5. Commencing on the date on which customers are authorized to obtain a potentially competitive service from alternative sellers, an electric utility shall not provide the potentially competitive service except through an affiliate licensed pursuant to section 13 of this act.
6. The commission shall design, conduct and evaluate at least one pilot project regarding retail competition, which must commence not later than July 1, 1998. The commission shall design the project in such a manner that the project:
(a) Provides useful information to the commission, consumers and sellers of electricity regarding the carrying out of competition to provide potentially competitive services;
(b) Prevents any unfair advantage to a seller of a potentially competitive service;
(c) Ensures substantial participation by residential, commercial and industrial customers; and
(d) Prevents any unnecessary delay in the date on which customers may obtain potentially competitive services from alternative sellers.
With respect to a pilot project, the commission possesses all of the relevant powers and duties set forth in sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act. The commission shall treat any costs incurred by an electric utility before July 1, 1998, on behalf of customers who participate in a pilot project in the manner set forth in section 19 of this act.".
Amend sec. 13, page 3, by deleting lines 39 through 42 and inserting:
"3. The commission may deny the application of a prospective alternative seller for a license, or may limit, suspend or revoke a license issued to an alternative seller, if the action is necessary to protect the interests of the public or to enforce the provisions of sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act or of a regulation of the commission. In determining whether to take any of those actions, the commission may consider whether the applicant for or holder of such a license, or any affiliate thereof, has engaged in activities which are inconsistent with effective competition.
4. A city, county or other local governmental entity or a public utility, or any affiliate thereof, which is authorized to provide electric service within the State of Nevada on or before July 1, 1997, and which has an annual operating revenue of less than $250,000,000, is subject to the provisions of sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act and any regulations adopted by the commission that are in effect on the date on which the city, county or other local governmental entity or public utility, or an affiliate thereof:
(a) Applies to obtain a license as an alternative seller; or
(b) Directly or indirectly attempts to provide, or act on behalf of an alternative seller in the provision of, electric service in the territory served by another city, county or other local governmental entity or public utility, or an affiliate thereof.".

"Sec. 15. 1. The commission shall monitor the markets for electric services affected by sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act to identify and prevent activities that are inconsistent with the goals of sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act. The commission shall:
(a) Proscribe activities that are inconsistent with the goals of sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act, and establish penalties for such activities and procedures for imposing the penalties; and
(b) Establish conditions and limitations on the ownership, operation or control of the assets of a provider of an electric service to prevent activities that are inconsistent with the goals of sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act and to ensure the development of effective competition for electric service, including, but not limited to, limitations on the ownership, operation or control of:
(1) Transmission facilities; and
(2) Any generation facilities necessary to the reliable and economic operation of the transmission facilities,
In establishing such conditions and limitations, the commission shall consider the financial obligations that a provider of an electric service has, as of the date on which customers are authorized to obtain a potentially competitive service from alternative sellers, incurred to carry out a statutory obligation of a public utility.
2. Upon a showing of good cause by a party requesting an investigation or upon a motion of the commission, the commission shall conduct an investigation to determine whether the markets for electric service are functioning in a manner consistent with sections 2 to 23, inclusive, of this act. The investigation must include, but is not limited to, the effect on the market of:
(a) Mergers, consolidations or acquisitions of the assets or the securities of providers of electric services;
(b) The disposition of ownership, operation or control of the assets of providers of electric services;
(c) Transmission congestion or constraints; and
(d) Anticompetitive or discriminatory conduct.
3. The commission may require an alternative seller or an electric utility to provide information, including, but not limited to, documents and testimony, in accordance with the regulations of the commission relating to the discovery of information relating to a provider of electric service.
4. If evidence is presented to the commission that anticompetitive or discriminatory conduct, including, but not limited to, the unlawful exercise of market power, is denying customers the benefits of effective competition in a market for electric services, the commission shall consult with the attorney general and transmit any evidence of a violation of the law of this state to the attorney general and, if appropriate, inform the United States Department of Justice and any appropriate federal agency.".

Shareholders of the electric utility must be compensated fully for all such costs determined by the commission. In determining the costs, the commission shall take into account:
(a) The extent to which the electric utility was legally required to incur the costs for the assets and obligations;
(b) The extent to which the market value of the assets and obligations of the utility relating to the provision of potentially competitive services exceeds the costs for the assets and obligations;
(c) The effectiveness of the efforts of the electric utility to increase and realize the market value of any assets and obligations associated with the provision of potentially competitive services;
(d) The extent to which the rates previously established by the commission have compensated shareholders for the risk of not recovering the costs for the assets and obligations;
(e) The effects of the difference between the market value and the costs for the assets and obligations, including, but not limited to, tax considerations; and
(f) If the electric utility had the discretion to determine whether to incur the costs, the conduct of the electric utility with respect to the costs for the assets and obligations when compared to other utilities with similar obligations to serve the public.
2. For the purposes of this section, the commission may impose a procedure for the direct and unavoidable recovery from ratepayers of a portion of the past costs which are determined by the commission to be owed by the ratepayers.

2. If the commission determines that sufficient capacity will not be available to customers at a reasonable price, the commission may establish equitable obligations for customers, electric utilities or alternative sellers to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available. Any obligation that discriminates against or unduly burdens an electric utility, an alternative seller or a customer is not reasonable and may not be imposed by the commission. The commission may adopt regulations that specify the method or procedures which will be used to ensure the requirements for capacity are satisfied. The methods or procedures may include competitive solicitations to fill the requirements or any other procedures or methods deemed appropriate and necessary by the commission.
3. Each entity providing a potentially competitive service or a noncompetitive service shall submit to the commission annually, in the format prescribed by the commission, information that the commission determines is necessary to:
