Connecticut lawmakers are considering House Bill 5154 to expedite environmental permitting for waste facilities. The bill allows the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to issue general permits for low-risk activities, streamlining the process and reducing paperwork. Business groups support the plan, but environmental advocates express concerns about potential safety checks being skipped, particularly in vulnerable communities. The bill is part of a larger initiative to revamp permit programs by 2026, aiming to balance speed with strong protections. The Environment Committee will discuss the bill this Wednesday.
