AN ACT CONCERNING STERILE CULTIVARS, APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF CERTAIN MATERIALS AS FILL AND THE REVISION OF CERTAIN HOUSING-RELATED STATUTES.
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Summary
The bill lets the state sell sterile versions of plant species that are otherwise prohibited, as long as the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection determines they cannot reproduce in Connecticut. It also requires a certificate of environmental compatibility before building or modifying certain energy projects, and mandates decommissioning bonds for larger solar photovoltaic facilities on prime farmland or forest land. The changes aim to protect the environment while permitting limited use of otherwise restricted plants and energy infrastructure.
