Rulemaking to Amend Subst. R. §25.497 to Make a Secondary/Emergency Contact Optional
Summary
The proposed amendments make the inclusion of a secondary contact optional in an application to be designated as a Critical Care Residential Customer and/or Chronic Condition Residential Customer. In addition, the amendments add the term
"emergency contact" and make it synonymous with "secondary contact." The amendments primarily use the term
"emergency contact" rather than "secondary contact," because "emergency contact" better describes the nature of this type of contact person. The amendments retain one reference to
"secondary contact," because that term is used in §25.483, relating to Disconnection of Service. This rulemaking project is limited in scope, and is intended to address only the secondary/emergency contact.
