The bill amends Section 39-26-5 of the General Laws in Chapter 39-26, which pertains to the Renewable Energy Standard. The key change is the addition of nuclear energy sources as an eligible renewable energy resource, now included as item (9) in the list of renewable energy resources. The bill also clarifies that fuel cells using the renewable resources referenced in this section are included, and it removes the conjunction "and" before the new item (9).

This act aims to expand the definition of renewable energy resources to include nuclear energy, thereby potentially increasing the diversity of energy sources recognized under the Renewable Energy Standard. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
