The proposed bill aims to prohibit the construction of wind power devices exceeding 150 feet in height within designated areas in Arkansas that have a significant concentration of waterfowl, specifically where eleven or more bird bands have been collected over the past decade. This measure is introduced in response to concerns about the negative impact of wind energy on wildlife, particularly migratory birds like waterfowl, which are at risk of collisions and disorientation due to wind turbines. The bill emphasizes the need for conservation efforts to protect declining waterfowl populations in the state.

Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause, highlighting the urgent need for immediate action to safeguard waterfowl populations, which are vital for the state's economy through tourism and hunting. The provisions of the bill will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or after the expiration of the veto period if not acted upon. The legislation reflects a commitment to balancing energy production with wildlife conservation in Arkansas.
