Texas HB3056 regulates municipal and county authority over wind and solar power facilities.

Texas HB3056 amends the Local Government Code to restrict municipal and county regulation of wind and solar power facilities. Specifically, it mandates that municipalities and counties prohibit the installation of such facilities within 500 yards of property not owned by the facility operator, unless consent is obtained from all property owners. The bill also clarifies that counties cannot regulate within municipal boundaries and requires these regulations to be adopted by October 1, 2025. The Act aims to harmonize these changes with other legislative amendments.
