AI Summary

This bill amends Section 69H of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish the Energy Facilities Siting Board within the Department, but not under its supervision or control. The Board is tasked with implementing provisions to provide a reliable energy supply for the Commonwealth with minimum impact on the environment, public health, and overall well-being of residents, at the lowest possible cost. The Board will review the environmental and public health impacts, need for, and cost of transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, gas manufacturing and storage facilities, and oil facilities, while allowing market forces to determine the need for and cost of generating facilities. The Board must also solicit and consider testimony from the Department of Fish and Game and the Department of Public Health on environmental stewardship and public health concerns, respectively.
