Sec. 16a-38g. Decision schedule.

(a) The commissioner shall issue a decision schedule for each priority energy project within sixty days after his designation. Such decision schedule shall state the order in which agency decisions are to be made and where feasible shall provide for concurrent review of applications and joint agency hearings. Notwithstanding any general statute or special act to the contrary, such decision schedule shall provide, whenever deemed in the best interests of the state by said commissioner, for the completion of all agency decisions within one year or less from the date of its issuance.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any general statutes or special act to the contrary, if the time limit set forth in the decision schedule for an agency decision has elapsed and such decision has not been made, it shall be deemed to have been made in favor of the project unless the commissioner waives or grants an extension of such time limit.
