The bill amends Chapter 247 of the Local Government Code to establish regulations for the installation of wind and solar power facilities by municipalities and counties. It introduces new definitions for "solar power facility" and "wind power facility," referencing existing definitions in the Utilities Code. The bill mandates that municipalities and counties prohibit the installation of these facilities within 500 yards of real property owned by individuals other than the facility's owner or operator, unless written consent is obtained from those property owners. Additionally, it specifies how the distance from property lines should be measured and clarifies that counties cannot regulate installations within municipal boundaries.

Furthermore, the bill requires municipalities and counties to adopt the prohibition by October 1, 2025, but it does not apply retroactively to facilities that began installation before the effective date of the ordinance or order. The intent of the bill is to ensure that these amendments are consistent with other legislative actions taken during the 89th Legislature. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
