According to Heather, this legislation streamlines the approval process under 
the Connecticut Siting Act. I will give you a file with the full text of the 
Act and amendments. Mark Oland at Bingham is looking at this issue and is not 
sure that Heather's reading is correct.

> On August 23, 2000, Governor Rowland signed Public Act No. 00-93, titled
> "An Act Encouraging Fuel Cell Technology". This act says that the normal
> 18 month hearing and approval process required by the Connecticut Siting
> Council for new electric power plants will not apply to fuel cell power
> plants. Instead, the Siting Council must only make a declaratory ruling of
> no adverse environmental impact, usually about a 60 day process. The
> signing of the act into law was attended by FCE representatives and state
> legislators, who sponsored the Bill and helped get it through the
> legislature.
