Summary

The bill adds a new zoning rule that only allows large solar projects on already‑developed property such as rooftops or parking lots serving nearby homes or businesses. It bars such projects on forested land, farms, undeveloped parcels of one acre or more, and other rural areas. The change aims to keep utility‑scale solar confined to built‑up areas.
