AB 615: Power facilities: emergency response and action plans.

This bill aims to update the state's energy facilities regulations. The bill would remove the requirement for a detailed application for energy transmission lines and power plants, instead focusing on the need for an emergency response and action plan. This plan would need to be paid for by the applicant and would require collaboration with local emergency management agencies. The bill also aims to improve safety for energy storage systems by requiring compliance with setback requirements that meet or exceed the National Fire Protection Association standard.
