Bill > SB0598

This bill modifies Tennessee's reporting requirements for local governments regarding wind energy facility siting by extending the annual reporting deadline from January 1 to February 1. Specifically, the bill amends Section 65-17-106 of the Tennessee Code Annotated to change the date by which local governments must submit their annual reports about wind energy facilities. The new deadline will be February 1, 2026, and February 1 in subsequent years, giving local governments an additional month to compile and submit their required annual reports. This change provides local governments with slightly more time to prepare and submit their documentation about wind energy facility siting, which could help ensure more comprehensive and accurate reporting. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the public welfare cited as the justification for its prompt implementation.
