House Bills 288 and 308

From Hunter Berns:
Two bills have been introduced by Rep. Paul Seaton of Homer of which we should be aware and contact our venerable legislators in support. HB 288 is a net metering bill. It contains a buy-back and a credit provision for excess energy production. HB 308 is a "mixing zone" law (According to the DEC, a mixing zone is "The area where treated wastewater is authorized by DEC to mix with a water body") which requires the DEC to make available information on pollutants discharged into our waters, salty or fresh. Look below for full text, amendments, and to which committee it is assigned.

HB 302: http://www.legis.state.ak.us/basis/get_bill_text.asp?hsid=HB0302A&session=25
