ELECTRIC COOPS PARTY-LIST SOLON HOPEFUL CONGRESS CAN SOON CLEAR WAY FOR THE REMOVAL OF HAZARDS TO POWER LINES, FACILITIES

Congress still has time to pass the Anti-Power Line Disturbance Act before storms come starting next July.

1-CARE Rep. Carlos Roman Uybarreta said the energy committee chairmen of the House and Senate have worked out how to get the law passed before Congress adjourns in May and ready for signing by June.

“Senator Win and I, together with Chair Lord Velasco had a meeting last Wednesday evening and among others we agreed to hasten the passage of certain legislation affecting the energy sector for the betterment of the general public, and one of those legislation is the Anti-Power Line Disturbance bill,” Uybarreta said.

Sen. Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian is the Senate Committee on Energy Chair; while Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco is the Chair of the House Committee on Energy.

Approved on third and final reading by the House was HB 6276 last September 25, 2017 and sent to the Senate on September 27.

The electric cooperatives distribution & transmission utilities would still have time to clear all potential hazards to power lines and prevent blackouts during storms of the rainy season this year.

"Prevention is better than cure in this situation. We keep our technical crew out of harm's way and we spare electric coop customers the power outages when storms topple tall trees that grow near or under power lines," Uybarreta also said.

The Anti-Power Line Disturbance bill of the House (HB 6276) has a provision reserving only to the Supreme Court the power to issue injunctions o temporary restraining orders against efforts to clear right-of-way areas of hazards to power lines.

HB 6276 also requires applicants for building permits to secure first the permission of electric cooperatives before they build any structures at or near the right-of-way zone at power lines and facilities. (END)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
