Land use: farmland and open space; use of farmland for commercial solar facilities; prohibit. Amends sec. 36104e of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.36104e).

Senate Bill 327 proposes to prohibit the use of protected farmland for commercial solar facilities. It amends existing law to prevent the amendment of development rights agreements, which are typically used to preserve farmland and open space, to allow for the installation and operation of solar facilities. This means that, after the bill's effective date, land enrolled in these agreements can no longer be converted for solar energy generation, regardless of conditions for environmental protection or eventual return to agricultural use.
