AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the location of generation facilities by prohibiting them from being placed within one mile of certain public areas and areas of critical environmental concern. Specifically, the bill states that no generating facility shall be located less than one mile from an environmental justice community, playground, licensed day-care center, school, church, area of critical environmental concern, or residential housing. The linear distance is measured from any point along the generating facility to the outermost point of these designated zones. However, the bill exempts repairs or replacements that do not increase the megawatts generated in any generation facility that was in operation prior to January 1, 2017.
