AI Summary
This bill amends the Affordable Clean Energy Security Act to remove nuclear power from the types of energy resources that the Office of Energy Resources (OER) and the Division of Public Utilities and Carriers (DPUC) can participate in procuring or entering into long-term contracts for. Specifically, it removes references to "nuclear power" from sections detailing regional energy planning, state and regional energy procurement, utility filings with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), and the duties of the PUC. This means that while the OER and DPUC can still be involved in planning and procuring other energy sources like hydroelectric and renewable energy, as well as natural gas infrastructure, they will no longer be authorized to do so for nuclear power. The bill also states that it will take effect immediately upon its passage.
