The East Haven Advertiser reports that the Connecticut State Senate last week passed SB 1017, an Act Concerning the Emergency Plans of Operations of Shoreline Communities and the Designation of Liquefied Natural Gas Hazard and Security Zones. The legislation is directed toward the proposed Broadwater LNG terminal and would require the state to recommend security zones to the U.S. Coast Guard, restrict security services from operating without state approval, and require shoreline communities to plan for any emergency caused by an existing LNG facility in Long Island Sound. This press release provides further details on SB 1017.
