The bill amends Chapter 23-17 of the General Laws by introducing a new section, 23-17-9.1, which mandates that all state-licensed healthcare facilities, as defined in 23-17-2, begin to convert their energy sources from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources by January 1, 2026. This conversion is a condition for maintaining their operating licenses. The bill emphasizes the use of renewable fuels and "green" energy sources to achieve reductions in energy consumption and costs.

To implement these requirements, the Department of Business Regulation, in consultation with the Office of Energy Resources and the Department of Health, is tasked with promulgating the necessary rules and regulations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
