Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 40-360.06, arizona revised statutes; relating to the power plant and transmission line siting committee.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law to clarify the factors the Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee considers when issuing a certificate of environmental compatibility, which is a permit required for power plants and transmission lines. Specifically, it allows the committee to evaluate applications for proposed transmission lines by considering all the factors listed for general siting suitability, even if those factors relate to an electric generating unit connected to the transmission line. The bill also makes minor wording changes to existing provisions regarding the committee's considerations, such as environmental protection for unique biological areas and compliance with pollution standards, and clarifies that the committee can grant a certificate even if it conflicts with local ordinances if compliance is found to be unreasonably restrictive and not feasible with available technology, while ensuring affected local jurisdictions are notified and can participate in such proceedings.
