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 provisions outlined in Section 1 will be incorporated as a new part in Title 75, chapter 26 of the Montana Code. This legislative measure aims to regulate the placement of wind turbine generators to ensure adequate distance from various properties and public infrastructure.
