AN ACT CREATING A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.

HB 5394 creates a new standalone Department of Energy, separating it from the current Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. It transfers all energy-related functions - such as energy policy, infrastructure oversight, and renewable energy programs - from the existing department to the new entity. This reorganization affects state government operations by shifting responsibility for energy matters to a dedicated agency. The bill does not alter energy policies or regulations, only restructuring the administrative body managing them. (Bill: HB 5394, Title: AN ACT CREATING A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY)
