Summary

The bill prolongs the tax‑assessment exclusion for active solar energy systems that are installed by the property owner (up to about 2.01 MW) and for systems on public‑entity properties, applying to tax lien dates from Jan. 1, 2027 through Jan. 1, 2031. It also creates a claim process for owner‑builders whose solar installations are part of a new building, requires public‑entity tax savings to support affordable leases, and mandates annual reporting on the program’s use. The measure aims to encourage solar adoption while clarifying state‑mandated costs and reimbursement rules.
