Summary
The act creates a new statute that bars any outdoor light owned by the state cabinet from casting light onto agricultural land. New fixtures must be fully shielded at installation, and landowners can demand shielding within ten days of a complaint. The measure is an emergency law, so it took effect as soon as the governor signed it.
