Bill > S06718

This bill establishes an indefinite moratorium on the building or placing of any permanent or semi-permanent wind turbine on bodies of freshwater located within the state and under the state's jurisdiction and control. It also prohibits the construction of infrastructure used to support wind turbines in federal waters or other states' waters if that infrastructure enters or passes through a body of freshwater within the state's jurisdiction. The moratorium can only be lifted with the consent of both houses of the state legislature through a majority vote. The bill also requires the legislature to consider any additional data or information deemed necessary before deciding whether to lift the moratorium.
