Senate Committee Amends Pipeline Safety Bill To Increase Solar Energy Mandate
|
|
The Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee this week voted 7 to 6 to amend House Bill 1128 (Preston-D-Allegheny) to increase the solar energy mandate in Tier I of the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards to 1.5 percent.
The purpose of the original bill was to increase penalties for gas pipeline safety violations.
The amendment, offered by Sen. Ted Erickson (R-Delaware), also increased the Tier I AEPS standard to 9 percent by June 1, 2021.
The bill now goes to the Senate floor for action and then should be referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Sen. Tommy Tomlinson (R-Bucks) serves as Majority Chair and Sen. Lisa Boscola (D-Lehigh) serves as Minority Chair.
