Indiana SB0054 restricts zoning overlay districts for solar projects after December 31, 2025.

Indiana SB0054 amends the Indiana Code to restrict zoning overlay districts for commercial solar energy projects. After December 31, 2025, a permit authority may not establish an overlay district for solar projects unless each underlying zoning district permits such projects. If underlying districts do not permit solar projects, they must be rezoned accordingly. The bill defines "commercial solar energy project" and "commercial solar energy system" and declares an emergency for the act.
