Authorizes certain energy projects involving installation of transmission and distribution wires that cross preserved farmland.*

This bill allows energy companies to construct and operate transmission and distribution infrastructure (like power lines and substations) on farmland protected by conservation easements, subject to strict conditions. It requires projects to stay within a 50-foot-wide right-of-way near the preserved land's edge, use specific environmentally sensitive installation methods (e.g., underground cables or overhead lines with minimal disruption), and obtain the landowner's approval. Projects meeting these criteria receive automatic approval without committee review, while non-compliant projects must seek approval from the State Agriculture Development Committee within 90 days, considering agricultural use and energy needs. The bill aims to balance energy infrastructure development with preserving farmland for agriculture.
