AB 305: Energy: nuclear facilities.
What AB 305 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to amend existing laws related to energy in California. It would exempt small modular reactors from certain provisions regarding nuclear facilities, allowing them to be certified and used as a permitted land use in the state. The bill would also require the Public Utilities Commission to adopt a plan to increase the procurement of electricity generated from nuclear facilities and phase out natural gas facilities by 2028. This plan is part of the state's goal to have 100% of electricity supplied by renewable energy sources and zero-carbon resources by 2045.
