Summary

This bill modifies the composition and governance structure of the nuclear decommissioning citizens advisory panel overseeing the shutdown of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Massachusetts. The legislation significantly expands the panel's membership to include additional local, state, and community representatives—such as members from Plymouth and Duxbury, tribal representatives, environmental groups, and industry associations—while maintaining key state officials as ex-officio members. The bill also establishes new procedural rules including 3-4 year term limits for appointed members, annual election of leadership positions, and formal quorum requirements, all aimed at strengthening public participation and local input in the decommissioning process of this nuclear facility.
