The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5339 mandates the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to conduct a comprehensive study on the municipal permitting and inspection processes for residential solar photovoltaic systems. This study will assess various municipalities to determine the average time required for permit approvals, the average number of site inspections needed before activation of the systems, and identify the local officials responsible for these inspections. The findings of this study are to be reported to the relevant joint standing committee by February 1, 2027. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for this study, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. It also includes a statement of purpose that clarifies the intent of the legislation. Additionally, the bill contains a proposed deletion section that indicates the formatting of the text, specifying how new and deleted language is presented, although no specific deletions are made in the current text.
