Summary
This bill amends existing legislation to strengthen oversight of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station closure by expanding the composition and responsibilities of the oversight panel established in 2016. The bill adds the Attorney General and Inspector General as ex officio members, includes a representative from Barnstable County's emergency planning department, and broadens the panel's mandate to comprehensively review all decommissioning impacts including workforce, economic development, public safety, environmental concerns, and hazardous waste storage. Additionally, it requires the panel to submit annual reports on projected financial impacts to state finance officials and legislative committees by April 1st each year, and authorizes the panel to accept and solicit external funding including gifts, grants, and federal funds to support its oversight activities.
