HB 741 (McClure) was passed by the House on March 2 by a 83-31 vote. The House bill was substituted for SB 1024 (Bradley) and placed on 3rd reading on the Senate Calendar for March 7. The bill would disincentivize renewable energy development through changes in reimbursement rates and additional fees. The FCCB opposed the bill, and staff shared their concerns with legislators while the bill was in committee. The bill does not fairly balance support for the growing solar industry and utility infrastructure costs.
