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. ----- Forwarded by Barton Clark/HOU/ECT on 09/12/2000 10:02 AM ----- Heather Kroll 09/06/2000 03:06 PM To: Barton Clark/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: FW: "An Act Encouraging Fuel Cell Technology" ---------------------- Forwarded by Heather Kroll/HOU/ECT on 09/06/2000 03:06 PM --------------------------- "Leitman, Jerry" <jleitman@fce.com< on 08/24/2000 03:45:46 PM To: "Heather Kroll (E-mail)" <Heather.Kroll@enron.com< cc: Subject: FW: "An Act Encouraging Fuel Cell Technology" Heather Thought this might be interesting to you.
