Ind. Law - Governor signs first bill of 2009 session

The Governor's 2009 Bill Watch site is now up.

The first bill of the 2009 signed into law by the Governor, today, is SEA 423, re substitute natural gas technology. From a release by the Governor:

INDIANAPOLIS (March 24, 2009) – Indiana's leadership in homegrown clean energy production moved another step forward today when Governor Mitch Daniels signed into law a measure that will bring new generation substitute natural gas technology to the state, provide billions in savings to energy customers and create 1,000 construction and 500 permanent jobs in southern Indiana.

“Edwardsport establishes our unique leadership in producing electricity from clean coal. Rockport will be first in gas from clean coal. In concert, these two facilities will make Indiana the world’s clean coal leader,” said Daniels.

Here is the Indianapolis Star report.

The ILB has had several entries on this bill, the most recent being this one from March 21st.
