AN ACT ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP TO EXAMINE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A UNIFORM ENERGY STORAGE CAPACITY TAX.

HB 7265 establishes a working group to study the potential implementation of a uniform energy storage capacity tax in Connecticut. The group, composed of legislative committee leaders, state agency commissioners (Energy, Environmental Protection, and Revenue), and a Connecticut Green Bank representative, will examine tax calculation methods and recommend rates. The working group must submit its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by January 1, 2026. This bill does not create the tax itself but authorizes a study to inform future legislative decisions. The fiscal impact is stated as none, as the study will use existing agency resources.
