AI Summary
This bill provides an exemption from requirements for the alienation of parkland for renewable energy generating projects with a generating capacity not exceeding two megawatts, and which are located above real property currently used for vehicle parking. The exemption applies to parkland that is not located within the Adirondack or Catskill parks, and the sale or disposal is limited to the airspace directly above the property. The bill aims to facilitate the development of small-scale solar energy projects on existing parking lots without the need for legislative approval for the alienation of parkland.
