HB 820

This bill establishes the Nuclear Energy Development Task Force to study and make recommendations on deploying nuclear power generation resources and related technologies in Maryland, as well as potentially creating a permanent nuclear energy commission. The Task Force will consist of approximately 30 members including state legislators, government officials, representatives from utilities and the nuclear industry, labor unions, environmental groups, local government associations, and technical experts. The Maryland Energy Administration will chair and staff the Task Force, which will examine nuclear energy development opportunities for the state and provide guidance on future nuclear energy policy and infrastructure.
