AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 25A of the General Laws to allow the Department of Energy Resources to place a lien on the property of a retail electric supplier that fails to make an alternative compliance payment required under the state's renewable energy laws. The lien would arise 30 days after the Department issues a notice of non-compliance and would remain in effect for 10 years. The Department would be able to collect the debt or enforce the lien through a civil action. The bill also allows the Department to issue a waiver or release of the lien once the debt has been paid or legally abated. The bill takes effect as of July 1, 2021.
