     (ii) identification of the problems or issues addressed by the bill;
     (iii) an explanation of the intent of the bill; and
     (iv) an evaluation of the bill's effects on energy, the environment, and the economy, along with information on the fiscal effects, social effects, and the distribution of the potential effects among different income groups, sectors of the economy, and geographic areas; and
     (b) an effects summary table that reviews the information provided in the energy policy evaluation worksheet in summary form.
     (3) An energy policy analysis may also be requested on a bill, as allowed by the joint rules of the legislature, by:

     (b) a majority of the members of the house in which the bill is to be considered, at the time of second reading; or
