Delegation supports date changes for Montgomery County Community Choice Energy pilot bill
Summary
Staff told the delegation House Bill 597 (MC17) only changes pilot start/end dates and reporting deadlines for the county's Community Choice Energy program; members signaled support to move the item forward.
Garrett Fitzgerald, section chief for climate programs and state policy in the Department of Environmental Protection, briefed the Montgomery County delegation on House Bill 597 (Delegation Bill MC17), which adjusts timeline dates for the county's Community Choice Energy pilot.
Fitzgerald said the enabling legislation that authorized the pilot in 2021 required state authorization and timeline milestones; the bill under discussion would shift four dates for the pilot start, pilot end and the two pilot reports required by statute. He emphasized the proposed changes are limited to scheduling and do not alter program substance.
Delegation members registered their support without objection and the chair moved the packet forward.
Next steps: staff will continue to track the bill and coordinate with the delegation sponsor in Annapolis.
