Northeast energy policy 1978, significant energy laws enacted during the 1978 state legislative sessions in the ten northeastern states
Sixty-one significant energy laws produced by the 1978 legislatures of the ten Northeastern states are listed according to state, bill number, subject, and description. The subjects are conservation, regulation and development, alternate energy, and rate structures. The laws center on institutionalization of energy administration, separation of siting functions from regulatory functions, continued progress in environmental protection with some slow-down in momentum, and continued progress in efforts to ease the consumer's burden. Included in the legislation is a 21 bill package, passed by New York State, which contains a master energy plan and siting law; a lifeline law by New Jersey; a new state energy office for Delaware; a time-of-day, time-of-use law adopted by New Hampshire; and a bottle law adopted by Connecticut following Maine and Vermont. Legislative officers for the Senate, House and/or General Assembly for each of the Northeastern states are listed.
