Senate Bill 898 (SB 898) of the 82nd Texas Legislative Session amended the Texas Health and Safety Code Section 388.005 requiring political subdivisions, institutes of higher education, and state agencies in nonattainment or near nonattainment counties to establish a goal of reducing electricity consumption by at least five percent each state fiscal year beginning September 1, 2011. Recent passage of SB 241 in the 86th Texas Legislative Session, extended the percent reduction goal another seven years beginning September 1, 2019. To maintain compliance with this legislative requirement, the City Council of Fort Worth, TX developed a resolution to track their progress and document their consumption reduction.
