Senator Hansen, bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 20-190 and requested that the bill be postponed indefinitely.  This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to study and report on transmission planning and narrows the scope of an existing study of the costs and benefits of regional transmission organizations.  It also requires the commission to approve a utility's application to build certain new transmission facilities within 180 days, and provides right of first refusal for incumbent electric utilities.
