AN ACT REMOVING REFERENCE TO CALIFORNIA LAW IN ENERGY CONSERVATION, AIR POLLUTION OR EMISSION STANDARDS IN THE STATE.

HB 5395 removes all references to California law, codes, or regulations from Connecticut's energy conservation, air pollution, and emission standards statutes. It specifically deletes requirements for Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner to model state standards after California's. The bill directly affects state agencies responsible for setting environmental regulations but does not change existing emission or energy standards. This is a procedural change to Connecticut's statutes, eliminating statutory ties to California's regulatory framework.
