An Act to establishing a moratorium on new gas system expansion
HD 142 imposes a temporary moratorium on approving new natural gas infrastructure projects or expanding existing systems until at least 2026, with exceptions only for public safety. It directly affects natural gas utility companies and developers seeking permits for new pipelines or facility expansions. Key provisions include defining "combustible fuel facilities" to cover natural gas systems and prohibiting new construction in towns without active gas service. The law halts all new approvals and expansions until 2026, requiring safety justification for any exceptions.
