Summary
The bill moves the date by which a community solar energy system must be approved by the Public Service Commission from 2025 to 2030 so the land it uses can be taxed as agricultural. It orders the Department of Assessments and Taxation to set rules for deciding eligibility and to issue or withdraw pre‑construction determinations. This change benefits solar developers and farmers who combine farming with solar panels.
