AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to establish the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) within the Department of Energy Resources, but not under its supervision or control. The EFSB is tasked with reviewing the environmental and public health impacts, the need for, and the cost of transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, facilities for the manufacture and storage of gas, and oil facilities. The board is required to solicit and consider testimony from the Department of Fish and Game and the Department of Public Health whenever reasonable environmental or public health concerns are raised. The bill specifies that the EFSB's review of generating facilities will be conducted consistent with Section 69J1/4, while its review of all other facilities will be conducted consistent with Section 69J.
