An Act establishing a temporary moratorium on large scale ground-mounted solar photovoltaic installations and battery energy storage systems in the town of Worthington

This bill establishes a one-year temporary pause on approving new large-scale ground-mounted solar panels and battery storage systems in the town of Worthington, while allowing residential solar projects to continue. During this moratorium period, the town must conduct a planning study to review and update its zoning rules for industrial solar installations, ensuring any future regulations protect local ecological resources and align with community planning goals. The pause ends either after one year or when the town adopts new zoning amendments, whichever happens first.
