Below please find hyperlinks for the 2015 bills dealing with nuclear reactors that impact both the safety and economy of the Commonwealth. The bills will be heard by Joint Committees - the links to the committees are below. The committee link provides: names and emails of committee members and hearing schedules.
The hearing schedules for these bills have not been set. Regularly check the schedules and also ask the presenter of the bill to keep you informed. It is so important to assure that we get these bills reported out favorably.
What can you and your group do?
- Send in written testimony
- Attend and speak at the hearing - you usually only get a couple of minutes to speak - so bring a copy of your testimony to hand deliver.
- Ask your legislators and local elected officials to support the bills - request a copy of their testimony.
- Get the local press interested - perhaps a press event before the hearing and letters to the editor.
- Get your friends and state-wide groups involved.
