Referred to Assignments
Summary
The bill stops counties from approving commercial wind, solar or energy‑storage facilities in unincorporated land that lies within three miles of a municipality unless the municipality has approved the project, the land’s soil productivity is below a high threshold, or the developer is in compliance with water‑pollution permits. It also adds fire‑hydrant and setback requirements for solar and storage sites. The measure aims to give nearby towns more control over nearby renewable‑energy development and protect high‑quality land and water resources.
