Discussion
PEC’s Legislative Policy provides a process for the cooperative to advocate or express opinions on behalf of PEC with the Texas Legislature. To do this, PEC’s Board of Directors generally formulate a position to be taken on behalf of the Cooperative. The Board has the responsibility “to routinely and timely take Positions on legislation of interest to PEC and members.” Positions are defined as “the strategic objectives and goals for use with governmental or legislative advocacy by PEC. Positions are utilized in Legislative advocacy on behalf of PEC. Positions are adopted by the PEC Board of Directors.”
The Board may now consider approving the Legislative Positions presented with this resolution.
