Illinois SB0038 regulates county standards for commercial wind and solar energy facilities.
Illinois SB0038 amends the Counties Code to establish standards for counties to regulate commercial wind and solar energy facilities. Counties may require facility owners to provide consultation results, comply with electrical codes, and adhere to setback distances from various structures. Counties can set blade tip height limitations but must align with state regulations. The bill also mandates vegetation management plans for solar facilities to support pollinators and requires facility owners to repair any drainage damage.
