An Act relative to solar-powered mobility networks

This bill directs the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to regulate solar-powered mobility networks, aiming to shift the economy away from oil dependence. It mandates that private companies building these networks must fund the construction themselves, operate without government subsidies, achieve at least 120 passenger miles per gallon, exceed current safety standards, and generate over 2 megawatt-hours of renewable energy per mile daily. If no private entity builds such networks within six months, the state is required to create pilot programs. The legislation also establishes specific safety and design standards based on amusement ride regulations and limits taxes on these networks to 5% of gross revenues.
