OFA Fiscal Note
Potential Cost
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and eliminates its
associated fiscal impacts. The amendment requires the Department of
Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to conduct a study on the
impact of climate change including extreme weather, flooding, and
nuclear generating power facilities. This results in a potential cost to the
extent that DEEP is required to hire consultants, and additional
resources required to facilitate the study.

informational sources, including the analyst’s professional knowledge. Whenever applicable, agency data is
consulted as part of the analysis, however final products do not necessarily reflect an assessment from any
