Bill Summary
Amends the Counties Code if and only if Senate Bill 25 of the 104th General Assembly becomes law. Provides that "shared roof" does not include a roof that serves townhouses. Provides that "townhouse" means a privately owned single-family dwelling unit that is attached to but separated from other privately owned single-family dwelling units by a common party wall that has no doors, windows, or other means of human passage or visibility.
AI Summary
This bill, contingent on Senate Bill 25 of the 104th General Assembly becoming law, amends the Counties Code to clarify the definition of a "shared roof" in relation to solar energy systems. Specifically, it excludes roofs that serve townhouses from being considered "shared roofs" under this law. A townhouse is defined as a privately owned single-family home attached to other similar homes by a common wall, with no openings between them. This clarification is important because the Counties Code has provisions that may not apply to buildings with shared roofs, and this amendment ensures that townhouses, with their specific construction, are treated differently in this context.
