        (1) A power line which is dedicated to the transmission or distribution of electricity generated from renewable energy and which is connected to a facility or system owned, operated or controlled by a provider of electric service; or

        (2) A power line which is shared with not more than one facility or energy system generating electricity from nonrenewable energy and which is connected to a facility or system owned, operated or controlled by a provider of electric service.

    2.  A solar [thermal] energy system that reduces the consumption of [electricity.] electricity, natural gas or propane.

    3.  A net metering system used by a customer-generator pursuant to
NRS 704.766 to 704.775, inclusive.

    Sec. 11.  NRS 704.7821 is hereby amended to read as follows:

    704.7821  1.  For each provider of electric service, the Commission shall establish a portfolio standard for renewable energy. The portfolio standard must require each provider to generate or acquire electricity from renewable energy systems in an amount that is:

    (a) For calendar years 2003 and 2004, not less than 5 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    (b) For calendar years 2005 and 2006, not less than 7 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    (c) For calendar years 2007 and 2008, not less than 9 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    (d) For calendar years 2009 and 2010, not less than 11 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    (e) For calendar years 2011 and 2012, not less than 13 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    (f) For calendar year 2013 and for each calendar year thereafter, not less than 15 percent of the total amount of electricity sold by the provider to its retail customers in this state during that calendar year.

    2.  In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection 1, the portfolio standard for each provider must require that:

    (a) Of the total amount of electricity that the provider is required to generate or acquire from renewable energy systems during each calendar year, not less than 5 percent of that amount must be generated or acquired from solar renewable energy systems.

    (b) If the provider acquires electricity from a renewable energy system pursuant to a renewable energy contract with another party:

        (1) The term of the renewable energy contract must be not less than
10 years, unless the other party agrees to a renewable energy contract with a shorter term; and

        (2) The terms and conditions of the renewable energy contract must be just and reasonable, as determined by the Commission. If the provider is a public utility and the Commission approves the terms and conditions of the renewable energy contract between the provider and the other party, the renewable energy contract and its terms and conditions shall be deemed to be a prudent investment and the provider may recover all just and reasonable costs associated with the renewable energy contract.

    3.  If, for the benefit of one or more of its retail customers in this state, the provider has subsidized, in whole or in part, the acquisition or installation of a solar [thermal] energy system which qualifies as a renewable energy system and which reduces the consumption of electricity, the total reduction in the consumption of electricity during each calendar year that results from the solar [thermal] energy system shall be deemed to be electricity that the provider generated or acquired from a renewable energy system for the purposes of complying with its portfolio standard.

    4.  The Commission may adopt regulations that establish a system of renewable energy credits that may be used by a provider to comply with its portfolio standard.

    5.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, each provider shall comply with its portfolio standard during each calendar year.

    6.  If, for any calendar year, a provider is unable to comply with its portfolio standard through the generation of electricity from its own renewable energy systems or, if applicable, through the use of renewable energy credits, the provider shall take actions to acquire electricity pursuant to one or more renewable energy contracts. If the Commission determines that, for a calendar year, there is not or will not be a sufficient supply of electricity made available to the provider pursuant to renewable energy contracts with just and reasonable terms and conditions, the Commission shall exempt the provider, for that calendar year, from the remaining requirements of its portfolio standard or from any appropriate portion thereof, as determined by the Commission.

    7.  The Commission shall adopt regulations for the determination of just and reasonable terms and conditions for the renewable energy contracts that a provider of electric service must enter into to comply with its portfolio standard.

    8.  As used in this section:

    (a) “Renewable energy contract” means a contract to acquire electricity from one or more renewable energy systems owned, operated or controlled by other parties.

    (b) “Terms and conditions” includes, without limitation, the price that a provider of electric service must pay to acquire electricity pursuant to a renewable energy contract.”.

    “Sec. 21.  NRS 281.501 is hereby amended to read as follows:

    281.501  1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 or 3, a public officer may vote upon a matter if the benefit or detriment accruing to him as a result of the decision either individually or in a representative capacity as a member of a general business, profession, occupation or group is not greater than that accruing to any other member of the general business, profession, occupation or group.

    2.  In addition to the requirements of the code of ethical standards, a public officer shall not vote upon or advocate the passage or failure of, but may otherwise participate in the consideration of a matter with respect to which the independence of judgment of a reasonable person in his situation would be materially affected by:

    (a) His acceptance of a gift or loan;

    (b) His pecuniary interest; or

    (c) His commitment in a private capacity to the interests of others.

It must be presumed that the independence of judgment of a reasonable person would not be materially affected by his pecuniary interest or his commitment in a private capacity to the interests of others where the resulting benefit or detriment accruing to him or to the other persons whose interests to which the member is committed in a private capacity is not greater than that accruing to any other member of the general business, profession, occupation or group. The presumption set forth in this subsection does not affect the applicability of the requirements set forth in subsection 3 relating to the disclosure of the pecuniary interest or commitment in a private capacity to the interests of others.

    3.  A public officer or employee shall not approve, disapprove, vote, abstain from voting or otherwise act upon any matter:

    (a) Regarding which he has accepted a gift or loan;

    (b) Which would reasonably be affected by his commitment in a private capacity to the interest of others; or

    (c) In which he has a pecuniary interest, without disclosing sufficient information concerning the gift, loan, commitment or interest to inform the public of the potential effect of the action or abstention upon the person who provided the gift or loan, upon the person to whom he has a commitment, or upon his interest. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, such a disclosure must be made at the time the matter is considered. If the officer or employee is a member of a body which makes decisions, he shall make the disclosure in public to the Chairman and other members of the body. If the officer or employee is not a member of such a body and holds an appointive office, he shall make the disclosure to the supervisory head of his organization or, if he holds an elective office, to the general public in the area from which he is elected. This subsection does not require a public officer to disclose any campaign contributions that the public officer reported pursuant to NRS 294A.120 [or 294A.125] in a timely manner.

    4.  If a public officer declares to the body or committee in which the vote is to be taken that he will abstain from voting because of the requirements of this section, the necessary quorum to act upon and the number of votes necessary to act upon the matter, as fixed by any statute, ordinance or rule, is reduced as though the member abstaining were not a member of the body or committee.

    5.  If a public officer is voting on a matter which affects public employees, he shall make a full public disclosure of any personal pecuniary interest which he may have in the matter.

    6.  After a member of the Legislature makes a disclosure pursuant to subsection 3, he may file with the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau a written statement of his disclosure. The written statement must designate the matter to which the disclosure applies. After a Legislator files a written statement pursuant to this subsection, he is not required to disclose orally his interest when the matter is further considered by the Legislature or any committee thereof. A written statement of disclosure is a public record and must be made available for inspection by the public during the regular office hours of the Legislative Counsel Bureau.

    7.  The provisions of this section do not, under any circumstances:

    (a) Prohibit a member of the legislative branch from requesting or introducing a legislative measure; or

    (b) Require a member of the legislative branch to take any particular action before or while requesting or introducing a legislative measure.

    8.  As used in this section, “commitment in a private capacity to the interests of others” means a commitment to a person:

    (a) Who is a member of his household;

    (b) Who is related to him by blood, adoption or marriage within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity;

    (c) Who employs him or a member of his household;

    (d) With whom he has a substantial and continuing business relationship; or

    (e) Any other commitment or relationship that is substantially similar to a commitment or relationship described in this subsection.

    Sec. 22.  NRS 281.552 is hereby amended to read as follows:

    281.552  1.  Every public officer shall acknowledge that he has received, read and understands the statutory ethical standards. The acknowledgment must be on a form prescribed by the Commission and must accompany the first statement of financial disclosure that the public officer is required to file with the Commission pursuant to section 19 of this act or the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 281.561.
