Summary
Multi-family shared solar program; minimum bill. Amends requirements for a shared solar facility for the purposes of the multi-family shared solar program to include facilities that are located on a rooftop of a commercial building that shares a common or adjacent substation of the investor-owned utility with the multi-family shared solar subscriber. The bill also adds requirements for the minimum bill for the multi-family shared solar program requiring that a subscriber's net bill not fall below the minimum bill and requiring that the calculation of a subscriber's minimum bill be based on the amount of kilowatt-hours billed by the utility.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a House Substitute version to a Commerce and Labor Substitute version, with minor structural changes to the header information. The substantive policy content regarding the multi-family shared solar program, including definitions, program requirements, and minimum bill provisions, remains unchanged. The only notable difference is the committee attribution in the header, which changed from 'Labor and Commerce' to 'Commerce and Labor', reflecting a procedural reorganization rather than a policy change.
TECHNICAL

Header information was updated to reflect the Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor instead of the House Committee on Labor and Commerce, indicating a procedural change in committee assignment.

Page numbering and formatting were reorganized to match the Senate substitute format, with line numbers added and text reflowed for the new version.

Draft status and date stamps were added in the new version to indicate the document is offered for consideration as of 2/17/2025.
