Summary
The bill forces operators of large electricity‑using facilities (20 MW or more) that are within one mile of an adjacent county or municipality to seek a conditional use permit from that neighboring jurisdiction, if it has zoning ordinances. It applies to developers of high‑energy use buildings and gives nearby localities a say in the project. The goal is to extend local oversight to projects that could impact bordering communities.
