Resolve establishing a commission on infrastructure resilience
HD 1778 establishes a 13-member commission to study infrastructure resilience in Massachusetts, focusing on utility and water systems. The commission will identify security gaps, develop strategic plans, and improve coordination between state agencies, local governments, utilities, and emergency responders. It requires specific industry representation (including petroleum, natural gas, telecommunications, and electricity sectors) and must submit a final report to legislative committees by July 31, 2026. This bill creates a study body with no immediate policy changes, solely tasked with assessing vulnerabilities and recommending improvements.
