Senate Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that to the extent practicable, if establishing perennial vegetation and beneficial foraging habitat, a solar site owner or manager shall use native plant species and seed mixes that are free from noxious weed or exotic weed seeds. Provides that an owner or manager of a solar site with a generating capacity of more than 40 kilowatts implementing site management practices under this Act may claim that the site is "pollinator-friendly" or provides benefits to game birds, songbirds, and pollinators only if the site adheres to guidance set forth by the pollinator friendly scorecard published by the Department in consultation with the University of Illinois, Department of Entomology (in the introduced bill, stakeholders). Defines "Department", "exotic weed", and "noxious weed". Provides that the scorecard shall be posted on the Department of Natural Resource's website on or before 6 months after the effective date of the Act. Makes other technical changes. Effective immediately.
