This week was met with mixed results as SB 1237, 1301, and 1311 were slated to be heard in the Senate Energy and Utilities Committee. There was disappointment, as one decision made by the chair resulted in one of the trio being cast-aside for the rest of the year. Hours before the start of the Committee, the Chair issued a “No Recommendation” on Senate Bill 1237, a no recommendation by any chair is the “kiss of death” for most bills. However, the remaining two bills passed with bipartisan support. Reflecting on our progress, we're eager to share a comprehensive weekly wrap-up of the strides we've made and information at the bottom of what to expect for next week.
