HB 518 extends the annual reporting deadline for local governments that have adopted wind energy facility siting rules from January 1 to February 1 each year. This bill directly affects Tennessee local governments required to submit annual reports on wind energy siting regulations under Tennessee Code. The key provision amends specific sections of Tennessee law (Titles 5, 6, 7, 13, 65, and 68) to update the submission date without changing the reporting requirements or policy substance. The change provides local governments with an additional month to fulfill this administrative obligation.
