HF 248: Relating to electric power generating facility emission plans and projects, and including effective date and applicability provisions

Signed into law

What it does

This bill relates to electric power generating facility emission plans, updates, and budgets. The bill allows electric power generating facilities fueled by coal and located in Iowa to develop a reasonably cost-effective multiyear plan and budget or update an existing plan and budget for managing emissions. Current law requires electric power generating facilities fueled by coal and located in Iowa on July 1, 2001, to develop a cost-effective multiyear plan and budget for managing emissions. The bill removes provisions requiring plans and budgets to be filed with the utilities board by April 1, 2002, and updates filed at least every months thereafter.
