MODERATE

The bill was amended to add three new sponsors and update the procedural status to reflect that the committee has discharged the bill and it has been amended. The core policy text was significantly rewritten to change the filing requirements from paper maps to machine-readable GIS data, adjust the granularity of neighborhood data, and modify how 'priority decarbonization zones' are designated and reviewed.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include three additional sponsors (Senators Comrie, May, and Salazar) and the procedural scope was updated to reflect the bill's amendment and recommitment.

ELIGIBILITY

Added three new sponsors: Senators Comrie, May, and Salazar.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the required filing format from general maps to specific machine-readable Geographic Information System (GIS) data.

Updated the data granularity requirement from 250-foot increments to 150-foot increments for showing neighborhoods served by gas infrastructure.

Revised the criteria for designating 'neighborhood priority decarbonization zones' to prioritize areas where gas infrastructure can feasibly be avoided, rather than just ranking by urgency.

Added a requirement for the commission to notify the Department of Environmental Conservation within 30 days of posting maps and designate zones.

TIMELINE

Established a mandatory 18-month timeline for the commission to designate priority zones and an annual review cycle, replacing the previous vague instruction to rank zones.
