Bill > S2288

This bill proposes to remove two sections (sections 34 and 112) from Chapter 8 of the Massachusetts General Laws as they appear in the 2022 Official Edition, which seems to be related to woody biomass and greenhouse gas emissions standards for municipal lighting plants. While the specific details of those removed sections are not provided in the bill text, the bill's title and government summary suggest that it aims to eliminate regulatory provisions concerning woody biomass (a type of renewable energy source made from trees and plant materials) from the existing emissions standards for municipal lighting plants. By striking out these sections, the bill appears to be changing how woody biomass is treated in the context of greenhouse gas emissions calculations or regulations for municipal lighting facilities. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, meaning the changes would be implemented as soon as the bill is signed into law.
