Bill Summary

An Act to Transfer the Responsibilities of the Governor's Energy Office to the Department of Energy Resources

AI Summary

This bill transfers the responsibilities of the Governor's Energy Office to the Department of Energy Resources, effectively dissolving the former office and consolidating its functions within the latter. This change involves numerous amendments to existing laws, replacing references to the "Governor's Energy Office" with "Department of Energy Resources" or "Commissioner of Energy Resources" across various statutes related to energy planning, resource management, renewable energy development, offshore wind projects, and energy efficiency programs. The bill also makes conforming changes to salary ranges and executive department structures to reflect this organizational shift.
