If enacted, LB120 would lead to significant simplifications within the regulatory landscape related to energy management in Nebraska. The removal of obsolete provisions holds the potential to alleviate administrative burdens on both state agencies and stakeholders involved in energy oversight. This could allow for more flexibility in managing current energy challenges and initiatives, fostering a more responsive regulatory environment that aligns with contemporary energy needs and technologies.

Summary
