This bill establishes a moratorium on the height of wind power devices, limiting them to a maximum of 150 feet until July 1, 2027. It includes provisions that exempt any wind power device that is under construction, has broken ground, or is operational before March 21, 2025. Additionally, the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission is mandated to conduct a study on the effects of wind power devices, particularly focusing on migratory waterfowl and predatory birds, also known as raptors. The commission is authorized to collaborate with various entities, including state or federal agencies and educational institutions, to carry out this study.

The bill also includes an emergency clause, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts due to the potential detrimental effects of wind energy on wildlife, particularly birds. It emphasizes the declining populations of waterfowl in Arkansas and the necessity of immediate action to protect these species, which are vital for the state's economy through tourism and hunting. The act will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or under specific conditions if not vetoed.
