The proposed bill introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, specifically addressing contracts related to the maintenance and recycling of wind turbines. It mandates that, starting January 1, 2026, any contract between an entity and a property owner for the installation of a wind turbine must include provisions for the proper maintenance and recycling of the turbine, as well as the disposition of the turbine in the event that the entity becomes unable to maintain it due to dissolution or bankruptcy. The bill also establishes definitions for key terms such as "maintenance," "recycling," and "wind turbine," ensuring clarity in the contractual obligations.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the entity involved in the contract must assume joint and several liability for any damages or penalties incurred by the property owner due to failure in maintaining or recycling the wind turbine. Violations of this subchapter are classified as unfair or deceptive acts under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, allowing the Attorney General to enforce the provisions and seek remedies as outlined in existing law. This legislation aims to promote responsible management of wind turbine installations and ensure accountability among entities involved in their maintenance and recycling.
