Summary
The rules committee voted to send House Bill 3963 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation; the bill extends the Department of Land Conservation and Development’s deadline to produce an offshore wind roadmap report and extends the reporting requirement sunset.
The Senate Committee on Rules on June 18 moved House Bill 3963 to the Senate floor with a due‑pass recommendation. Committee staff summarized the bill as extending the Department of Land Conservation and Development's deadline to draft and submit a report on the agency’s activities to develop an offshore wind roadmap and on enforceable state policies related to offshore wind energy development.
The bill, as summarized, changes the deadline for delivery of the department’s report from Sept. 1, 2025, to Jan. 1, 2027, and extends the sunset of the reporting requirement to Jan. 2, 2027. Committee staff said the measure would take effect on the 90th day following adjournment and poses a minimal fiscal impact with no revenue impact.
The committee adopted the staff recommendation and voted to advance the bill to the floor. A senator volunteered to carry the measure on the Senate floor. The committee then closed the work session on the bill.
