AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to prohibit the construction of wind farms within six miles of a property owned by someone other than the wind farm owner, unless the neighboring property owner consents in writing. The bill defines a "wind farm" as wind turbines and associated facilities designed for or capable of producing 5 or more megawatts of electricity, but excludes smaller wind energy systems primarily serving a single customer. The bill aims to protect private property rights by requiring neighboring consent for the siting of large-scale wind energy projects.
