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. The OER is a state agency responsible for energy policy and planning, while the DPUC oversees public utilities, and the PUC is the regulatory body that approves utility actions and contracts. The bill also states that it will take effect immediately upon passage.
