House Bill No. introduced by B. Ler, S. Klakken, and J. Kassmier establishes specific setback requirements for the construction of wind turbine generators in Montana. According to the bill, after its effective date, a wind turbine generator cannot be built if the base of the tower is located less than 1,250 feet from the property line of any real property under a wind energy agreement, 3,000 feet from public roads and highways, and 7,920 feet from the property line of any real property not under such an agreement.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new setback requirements will be incorporated as a new part in Title 75, chapter 26 of the Montana Code. This ensures that the provisions outlined in the bill will be formally integrated into existing state law regarding wind energy agreements.
