Bill Summary
A bill to amend 2008 PA 295, entitled"Clean and renewable energy and energy waste reduction act,"by amending the title and section 13 (MCL 460.1013), as amended by 2023 PA 235; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.
AI Summary
This bill makes several technical amendments to Michigan's Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act, primarily focusing on modifying definitions and removing Part 8 of the original act. The bill revises the definition of "site" by removing an exception related to Part 8, which is being entirely repealed. It also maintains existing definitions for key terms like "transmission line" (electricity transfer infrastructure at 100 kilovolts or more), "utility system resource cost test" (a method for evaluating energy efficiency investments), "wind energy conversion system" (wind turbine systems generating at least 100 kilowatts), and "wind energy resource zone" (areas designated by the commission). The bill will only take effect if House Bill 4027 is also enacted, creating a legislative tie-bar that ensures both bills are implemented together. The most significant change is the complete repeal of Part 8 of the original act, which likely relates to zoning regulations for renewable energy facilities, as hinted at by the bill's title referencing zoning exemptions for large-scale solar, wind, and energy storage facilities.
