AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law (Chapter 75 of the Acts of 2016) by exempting low-income and community solar ratepayers from any monthly minimum reliability contribution, and allowing the department to exempt or modify such contribution for municipal ratepayers. The bill is intended to provide solar net metering fairness, ensuring that certain ratepayers are not disproportionately burdened by the minimum reliability contribution.
