An Act providing for power plant host community benefit agreements between municipalities and owners of certain electric generating facilities, for power plant host community impact fees paid by affected facilities and fee uses; establishing public participation requirements; and providing for administrative fees and for duties of the Department of Environmental Protection.

HB 1567 requires municipalities to negotiate benefit agreements with owners of certain electric power plants, mandating that facilities pay impact fees to host communities. These fees must be used for local projects like infrastructure or community programs, with clear rules for public input during negotiations. The bill also sets administrative fees for the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to oversee compliance and enforce the agreement process. It directly affects municipalities hosting power plants and the facilities themselves, creating a structured framework for financial contributions to impacted communities.
