AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to determine the feasibility of permitting non-exclusive access to rights-of-way for privately-funded and operated "solar mobility systems" that exceed 120 passenger miles per gallon or equivalent energy efficiency, exceed safety performance of already approved transportation modes, and generate more than 2 megawatt-hours of renewable energy per network mile per typical day. The commission will include representatives from various state agencies and organizations, and is required to submit a report by December 31, 2017 with their findings and recommendations for regulatory or legislative action, including a timeline for planning, construction, implementation, economic impact, and integration of zero-carbon transportation systems.
