(P.A. 82-231, S. 1, 8; P.A. 83-192, S. 1; P.A. 90-304, S. 10; P.A. 95-32, S. 1, 7.)
History: P.A. 83-192 repealed Subsec. (a), which defined "energy conservation", and applied the definition of "participant" to Sec. 16a-46d; P.A. 90-304 separated participants in the residential and the commercial energy conservation
programs into separate definitions and expanded the participants in the residential energy conservation program to Subsec.
(b) to include petroleum product vendors whose gross volume of retail fuel, propane or kerosene exceeds $2,000,000,
small home heating oil dealers and municipal water works systems; P.A. 95-32 deleted former Subsec. (a) which had
defined "participant" for purposes of Sec. 16a-46d, deleted water companies, small home heating oil dealers and municipal
water works system from definition of "participant" as used in Sec. 16a-46, and made technical changes, effective July 1,
1995 (Revisor's note: An incorrect reference to "plan under section 16-46a" was changed editorially by the Revisors to
"plan under section 16a-46a", thereby correcting a clerical error in P.A. 95-32).
