Bill Summary
To eliminate the use of any California state law, code or regulation to set energy utilization and conservation, air pollution control or emission standards in the state.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove all references to California's state laws, codes, and regulations from two specific chapters of Connecticut's general statutes, specifically regarding energy conservation, air pollution, and emission standards. By eliminating these references, the bill prevents the Commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection from using California's standards as a model for Connecticut's own emission standards. The proposed changes would effectively disconnect Connecticut's environmental and energy regulations from California's existing frameworks, potentially allowing the state to develop its own independent standards or adopt alternative models for energy efficiency and pollution control. The bill's purpose appears to be maintaining state autonomy in setting environmental and energy policy, removing what the legislators view as an external influence on Connecticut's regulatory approach.
