Introduced

Impose six month limit on coal plant permit processing to automatically grant the permit required under state environmental law to a proposed coal-burning generating plant if the permit has not been denied within six months. However, regulators at the Department of Environmental Quality could extend this time period indefinitely by claiming that the permit application is not “administratively complete”.

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology
