Relating to: priorities for siting certain electric transmission facilities.

Summary

The bill renumbers an existing statute and adds a new subsection that gives priority to large‑capacity transmission projects when they are placed alongside existing high‑voltage lines or within the right‑of‑way of interstates, U.S. highways, state highways, or railroads. It affects electric utilities and developers by potentially simplifying the approval process for such projects, while also impacting landowners and agencies that manage those corridors. The change aims to reduce the need for new land acquisition and streamline infrastructure development.
