Bill > S09075

This bill requires gas corporations to annually submit maps to the Public Service Commission (PSC) that detail the locations of their current and planned gas distribution lines, including projects for replacement, repair, renewal, and retirement. These maps must identify disadvantaged communities within their service areas, indicate which parts of their systems are easiest to decommission without impacting service, and include current project schedules. The PSC will then publish these maps and accompanying documents on its website, making them public records. Furthermore, the bill directs the PSC to designate "neighborhood priority decarbonization zones" after considering factors like disadvantaged communities, pollution sources, asthma rates, and planned development, with the goal of identifying areas where gas infrastructure replacement projects can be avoided in favor of cleaner energy alternatives.
