Summary
The bill imposes an immediate moratorium on the construction of new solar projects and on completing any that are already under way. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources must first adopt environmental regulations governing construction, placement, and operation, and the pause lasts until at least the end of 2027 or until those rules are in place. It is presented as a response to perceived health and safety hazards associated with solar farms.
