Description

This bill updates what projects the state energy research center may pursue, ensuring its work is directed toward specific, authorized energy initiatives.

CPAC supports responsible, results-oriented energy research and supported this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-04-09 by a vote of 57-32. The bill later became law.
