DESCRIPTION
This proposal would allow public school districts to aggregate purchases natural gas through a not-for- profit school association. Missouri gas corporations would file a set of small volume transportation schedules or tariffs applicable to public school districts by August 1, 2002. The proposal would establish requirements for the schedules filed with the Public Service
Commission.
The not-for-profit school association would make annual reports, beginning by September 1, 2003, to the Public Service Commission on the use of aggregate purchases of natural gas by school districts, savings by school districts and costs by Missouri gas corporations. The Public Service Commission would, in turn make reports to the legislature. Gas companies would make annual reports, beginning by June 1, 2003, to the Public Service Commission of their revenues and costs due to aggregate natural gas purchases.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This act contains an emergency clause and would terminate on June 1, 2005.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This legislation would not affect Total State Revenue.
