Senate Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that a commercial solar energy facility owner shall, not less than 45 days prior to the commencement of actual construction, submit to the Department of Agriculture a standard agricultural impact mitigation agreement signed by the commercial solar energy facility owner and including all information required by the Department (in the introduced bill, for commercial renewable energy facility owners of a commercial solar energy facility, the agricultural impact mitigation agreement shall be entered into prior to the commercial renewable energy facility owner making contact with a landowner seeking an underlying agreement for the development of a commercial solar energy facility). Provides that the construction and deconstruction of any commercial solar energy facility shall be in conformance with the Department's standard agricultural impact mitigation agreement. Provides that except as otherwise provided, the terms and conditions of the Department's standard agricultural impact mitigation agreement are subject to and may be modified by an underlying agreement between the landowner and the commercial solar energy facility owner. Provides that the Department shall make available on its website a standard agricultural impact mitigation agreement applicable to all commercial solar energy facilities within 60 days following the effective date of the bill. Defines "abandonment of a commercial solar energy facility". Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
