Summary

It changes the Counties Code so each county can adopt siting standards for commercial wind and solar projects, but those standards cannot be stricter than state limits. Existing county zoning rules that were in place before Jan 27 2023 remain valid, and the bill adds requirements for public hearings, setbacks, environmental reviews, and reasonable fees. The changes affect county governments, renewable‑energy developers, landowners and nearby residents.
