Extends to July 1, 2009 (rather than July 1, 2008) the date by which a gas utility must commence construction of a coal gasification facility in order for provisions authorizing the utility to enter into a 20-year supply contract with a company for synthetic natural gas produced from coal through the gasification process to apply.
