Marty - here are two versions of direct access legislation that will get some
attention next week.  The first is the current version of the Bowen bill. The
second is a retail coalition bill that will be introduced next week.  Primary
differences are this:

The Bowen bill gives more latitude to the PUC to determine whether retail
customers can participate in direct access.  The Coalition bill gives a much
more prescriptive description on how the exit fee should be calculated.

In the Coalition bill, there are two components to the exit fee:
a backward looking part to cover DWR costs since Jan 17
a forward looking part to cover unavoidable future costs, which does not
apply if
