HB 6019

This bill requires the Michigan Public Service Commission to hire an outside consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study on nuclear energy generation in Michigan. The study must examine multiple aspects of nuclear power development, including economic and environmental impacts, workforce considerations, safety criteria, small modular reactor capabilities, socioeconomic effects, coordination with other clean energy technologies, and policy recommendations needed to support nuclear energy adoption. Within 18 months of the bill's effective date, the commission must deliver a written report on the study's findings to the governor and key legislative leaders, providing Michigan policymakers with detailed information to inform future decisions about nuclear energy development in the state.
