Summary
This bill would exclude nuclear power from the scope of activities managed by the office of energy resources and the division of public utilities, specifically preventing these agencies from participating in, procuring, or entering into long-term contracts related to nuclear energy. The bill appears to be part of legislation addressing clean energy security and affordable utilities, though the full text was unavailable for detailed review. Without additional information, the specific rationale for excluding nuclear power and any exceptions or effective dates cannot be determined from the title and summary alone.
