Governor Signed
Summary
The bill creates definitions and eligibility rules for state incentives tied to the type of land a solar power plant occupies, reduces or blocks incentives on prime farmland and high‑productivity grazing land, and allows limited exemptions. It also requires wildlife impact consultation, a decommissioning plan with financial security, and a set of local permits before construction. The measures aim to protect agricultural resources and wildlife while guiding the growth of utility‑scale solar projects.
