AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to requiring the New
  York  state  independent  system operator to increase end-use consumer
  representation

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  findings.  The  legislature  finds that much
confusion exists with respect to determining and understanding the  role
of  the  New  York  State  Independent  System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) in
administering New York's wholesale electric power markets.  The legisla-
ture further finds that increasing the representation of end-use consum-
er issues in the daily operations of the NYISO will help to  ensure  the
direct  impact  on  end-use consumers is considered by the NYISO and its
stakeholders.
  S 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 65-c to
read as follows:
  S 65-C.  END-USE  CONSUMER  REPRESENTATION  IN  WHOLESALE  ELECTRICITY
MARKET.  1. THE NEW YORK STATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR, INC. (NYISO)
SHALL IMPLEMENT MEASURES PROVIDING THAT THE INTERESTS OF END-USE CONSUM-
ERS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN AMENDING OR ADMINISTERING TARIFF PROVISIONS THAT
IMPACT NEW YORK'S WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY MARKETS.
  2. THE  NYISO  SHALL  AMEND  ITS  MISSION  STATEMENT  TO  INCLUDE  THE
PROVISION  OF  RELIABLE SERVICE AT THE LOWEST REASONABLE COST TO END-USE
CONSUMERS.
  3. THE NYISO SHALL AMEND SECTION 5.04 OF THE ISO AGREEMENT AND SECTION
9.02 OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE BY-LAWS BY ADDING THE DEPUTY  SECRETARY
OF  ENERGY  TO  THE  GOVERNOR  AS  A MEMBER OF THE NYISO BOARD SELECTION
SUBCOMMITTEE UPON VACANCIES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
  S 3. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 66-m to
read as follows:
  S 66-M. NEW YORK STATE  INDEPENDENT  SYSTEM  OPERATOR  (NYISO)  ANNUAL
REPORT  ON END-USE CONSUMERS. BEGINNING APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
