For legislation relative to pipeline siting. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to prohibit the Department of Public Utilities from approving any pipeline capacity contract or gas storage contract that proposes to create new capacity through the installation of gas infrastructure in land that is protected under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution at the time the contract is submitted for approval. The bill also states that any subsequent siting approvals of gas infrastructure in such constitutionally protected land will void the Department's prior approval of the related pipeline capacity or gas storage contracts.
