State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) to perform a study to determine whether policy and
procedural changes within DEEP may increase the effectiveness of the
use of technology. Additionally, it requires the agency to report on its
findings to the Energy Committee by January 1, 2023. This has no fiscal
impact as DEEP currently has expertise within its Bureau of Energy and
Technology Policy (BETP) for this purpose.
