Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Bill 17-1299 is a Colorado law that asks a special committee (the Transportation Legislation Review Committee) to hold a meeting by December 1, 2017, to discuss how energy storage systems like batteries and hydroelectric pumps could benefit or cost electric utilities. This bill affects electric utility companies and anyone interested in renewable energy and its economic impacts. Currently, the bill is still being reviewed by a committee in the House of Representatives, which means it hasn't yet become an official law but is moving through the legislative process.
