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 long-term effects of wind power devices on wildlife, particularly focusing on migratory waterfowl and raptors. The commission is authorized to collaborate with various entities, including state and federal agencies, environmental consultants, and educational institutions, to carry out this study.

The bill also includes an emergency clause, highlighting the urgent need to address potential detrimental effects of wind energy on wildlife, particularly birds. It emphasizes the declining populations of waterfowl in Arkansas and the necessity for immediate conservation efforts 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 after the expiration of the veto period if not acted upon.
