S 2394

This bill restructures and expands the nuclear decommissioning citizens advisory panel for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant by significantly increasing its membership and modifying its governance structure. The legislation replaces the existing panel composition with a broader 24-member body that includes state officials, local government representatives from Plymouth and Duxbury, appointees from various stakeholder organizations (including the Massachusetts Seafood Collaborative, Realtors Association, and Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe), and two non-voting representatives from the power plant itself. The bill also establishes new procedural rules including 3-4 year term limits for appointed members, annual election of leadership positions, and majority voting requirements, ultimately aiming to strengthen community participation and diverse stakeholder representation in overseeing the decommissioning process of the nuclear facility.
