Solar energy devices; stating permissible locations for installation. Emergency.
SB 1917 bans the installation of solar energy devices (like panels) on agricultural land in Oklahoma, directly affecting farmers and ranchers who use land primarily for farming or ranching. The bill restricts solar installations to single-family homes and commercial/industrial properties only, prohibiting them on any land classified as agricultural by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. It defines "agricultural land" as property used for farming or ranching under state agriculture department oversight. The law takes immediate effect due to an emergency declaration, with no exceptions for existing installations on farmland after the effective date.
