House suspends rules to take up renewable energy bills
The House has suspended its rules to take up HB 347, which contains half of HB 337, the renewable energy rebate bill that earlier passed the House; senators objected that the bill contained multiple subjects, so it was split in two in its newest version. Rep. George Eskridge, R-Dover, said the House will take up HB 348, containing the other half, as soon as it's done with HB 347. The first bill deals with the extension of the rebate; the second with PURPA contracts regarding wind and solar projects.
