Senate Bill No. 1290, also known as Public Act No. 25-122, introduces technical revisions to the statutes concerning energy and technology in Connecticut. The bill establishes the Connecticut Siting Council, referred to as "the council," within the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for administrative purposes. This change is reflected in the repeal of subsection (a) of section 16-50j, where the term "title" is replaced with "chapter" to clarify the council's designation.
Additionally, the bill amends subsection (h) of section 16-50l, changing the language regarding applicants submitting initial applications for certain facilities. The term "that" is replaced with "who," emphasizing the subject of the sentence. The revised language requires applicants who plan to submit additional applications for facilities connected to the initial application to indicate their intentions and provide relevant information about these additional facilities. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
