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 that the measurement of distance for this regulation will be taken from the nearest point on the facility to the property line.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that counties cannot regulate the installation of wind or solar power facilities within the corporate boundaries of municipalities. By October 1, 2025, municipalities and counties are required to adopt the necessary prohibitions as outlined in the bill, but they cannot mandate the removal of facilities that were already in the process of installation prior to the effective date of the ordinance or order. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
