From the transcript
Yeah, I think, Co-Chair Foster, so I'm just kind of want to put it out there in the public. So this amendment basically mirrors what we know to be the contract that Instar already has with the developer based on Instar's testimony. My reservation for this amendment is I just, I don't want to put, uh, this level of detail in state law. I mean, it makes me feel like I'm reaching in and trying to control contract terms, but it basically is the contract terms they already have. So talking with the developer, I don't, don't believe it harms the project.
