OFA Fiscal Note
See Fiscal Note Details
The amendment allows municipalities with three or more existing
solar farms to establish a moratorium on construction or installation of
any new solar farm. Any impact is dependent on if a municipality meets
the criteria and establishes the moratorium.
If a municipality establishes a moratorium to prevent construction or
installation of a solar farm it may result in revenue loss associated with
fewer building permits and a grand list impact that is dependent on how
the property would have been taxed after construction of a solar farm.
