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, this restriction applies to regions where eleven or more bird bands have been collected over the past decade, covering an area of 100 square miles. The bill emphasizes the need for conservation efforts to protect declining waterfowl populations, which are at risk from wind energy infrastructure due to potential collisions and disruptions to their migration patterns.

Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause, highlighting the urgent need for immediate action to safeguard wildlife and the environment. It states that the act will take effect upon approval by the Governor or after a specified period if not vetoed. The legislation reflects a commitment to balancing energy production with wildlife conservation, recognizing the economic benefits of preserving waterfowl populations through tourism and hunting activities.
