Adopt the Nameplate Capacity Tax Facility Standards Act and change provisions relating to property tax exemptions and the nameplate capacity tax

Summary

The bill sets statewide rules for siting, setbacks, height, noise, visual impact, shadow flicker, road damage, weed control, emergency response, bonding and insurance for renewable energy generation and storage facilities. It also establishes a tax of $3,518 per megawatt of nameplate capacity for facilities permitted before 2027 and redirects the revenue to local governments and community colleges. The goal is to remove restrictive local rules, provide consistent permitting, and replace property‑tax treatment of renewable infrastructure with a predictable tax.
