Summary

The bill treats the construction of large solar, wind or other renewable facilities that use net‑energy‑metering contracts as public‑works projects, but limits many public‑works requirements to the contractor only. It forces contractors to pay prevailing wages, keep and submit payroll records, and allows a facility to stay eligible for net‑metering even after a contractor violation if workers are made whole. Small residential systems and certain modular‑home projects are exempt.
