Bill Summary

For legislation relative to solar-powered mobility networks. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate solar-powered mobility networks in Massachusetts to encourage the transition from an oil-powered to a sustainable economy. It requires the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to approve or conduct pilot projects for such networks, which must meet certain criteria, such as being privately funded and operated, exceeding the energy efficiency and safety performance of existing transportation modes, and generating a significant amount of renewable energy. The bill also directs the executive office to promulgate regulations for these networks, including standards for design, safety, and environmental approvals, and limits taxes and fees assessed on the network providers, passengers, and cargo to 5% of gross revenues.
