The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 116J.5492, subdivision 2, to modify the membership structure of the Energy Transition Advisory Committee. The committee will now consist of 18 voting members and eight ex officio nonvoting members. Among the changes, a new voting member will be added: one representative of a school district facing revenue loss due to energy transition. This addition aims to ensure that the perspectives of educational institutions affected by energy transitions are included in the advisory discussions.
Additionally, the bill removes the previous designation of the tenth voting member, which was unspecified, and renumbers the subsequent members accordingly. The overall composition of the committee remains focused on representing various stakeholders, including impacted communities, workers, and utilities, while enhancing the committee's ability to address the economic implications of energy transitions in Minnesota.
