H.B. 3004 Energy Security Adjustments

This bill modifies Utah laws governing the decommissioning and disposal of assets by coal-powered electrical generation facilities. It requires these project entities to provide at least 180 days' notice to the Legislative Management Committee before selling, transferring, or dismantling essential assets like turbines and generators. The legislation also mandates that the Decommissioned Asset Disposition Authority submit an alternative air permit application by December 31, 2024, and establishes a timeline for the Division of Air Quality to evaluate that application. Additionally, the bill repeals the project entity oversight committee and clarifies that the state's air quality study must ensure continued power plant operations do not jeopardize federal standards.
