SB 805

This bill establishes a 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 in the state. The Task Force will consist of approximately 30 members representing various stakeholders including state legislators, government agencies, local governments, labor unions, utility companies, environmental groups, industry representatives, and nuclear energy experts. The Maryland Energy Administration will provide staff support for the Task Force, which will examine the feasibility and implications of expanding nuclear energy development within Maryland.
