Bill Summary
Relative to certain federally regulated renewable energy facilities. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend a previous law (Chapter 448 of the Acts of 2012) by adding a new section that exempts certain dams from specific state regulations. Specifically, dams that are owned or operated by the U.S. government or its agencies, or any dam or reservoir that is licensed, permitted, inspected, or otherwise regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), will no longer be subject to sections 44 through 50 of chapter 253 of the General Laws. This means that these federally regulated dams will be excluded from these particular state oversight provisions, regardless of any other existing state laws, rules, or regulations.
