Bill S.113, introduced by Senator Harrison, mandates the Agency of Transportation to actively engage in the federal relicensing process for the Bellows Falls Hydroelectric Project. The bill requires the Agency to submit comments, recommendations, and proposed terms to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, specifically requesting that the dam's owner or operator be obligated to develop a plan and contribute financially to the maintenance, repair, and potential replacement of publicly owned bridges that span the canal supplying water to the facility.

Additionally, the Agency's submission must include supporting evidence for these requests, highlighting the canal's role in the project's operation, its impact on local accessibility, and the importance of the bridges for economic and social activities in the area. The bill also stipulates that the Agency must provide copies of all submitted materials to the relevant legislative committees. This act is set to take effect upon passage.
