WIND & SOLAR FACILITY DRAINAGE

Summary

The bill changes the Illinois Counties Code so that commercial wind or solar facilities located in unincorporated areas adjacent to a municipality must either be annexed into that city or be subject to the city's zoning rules. It also adds environmental permitting, a professional deconstruction plan, and financial‑assurance requirements for projects that disturb more than one acre. The changes aim to give municipalities more control over nearby renewable energy developments and protect land and water resources.
