    4         Service Commission to establish an experimental
    5         mechanism that meets certain requirements to
    6         facilitate certain energy infrastructure investment in
    7         gas; providing requirements for gas infrastructure
    8         investments; defining the term “gas”; requiring the
    9         commission to adopt rules and propose such rules by a

   12  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   13  
   14         Section 1. Subsection (3) is added to section 366.075,
   15  Florida Statutes, to read:
   16         366.075 Experimental and transitional rates; experimental
   17  mechanisms.—
   18         (3) The commission may establish an experimental mechanism
   19  to facilitate energy infrastructure investment in gas consistent
   20  with a similar structure as set forth in s. 366.99(2)-(6) and
   21  with the intent of s. 366.91(1). Such gas infrastructure
   22  investment may include only such investments that collect,
   23  prepare, clean, process, transport, or inject gas as a
   24  transportation fuel or for pipeline distribution. As used in
   25  this subsection, the term “gas” means anaerobically generated
   26  biogas, landfill gas, or wastewater treatment gas refined to a
   27  methane content of 90 percent or greater which may be used as a
   28  transportation fuel or for pipeline distribution. The commission
   29  shall adopt rules to implement and administer this subsection
   30  and shall propose such rules for adoption as soon as practicable
   31  but no later than January 1, 2026.
   32         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2025.
