Eminent domain-wind energy collector systems.

HB 106 imposes a moratorium on using eminent domain (government power to acquire private property) for wind energy collector systems, which include infrastructure like towers, wires, and substations that deliver wind-generated power. The ban applies to most entities (excluding certified public utilities) and lasts until June 30, 2032, or until new legislation sets conditions for such takings, whichever occurs first. It does not affect cases where condemnation lawsuits were filed and required funds deposited before the bill’s effective date. The law directly impacts wind energy developers seeking to expand facilities without existing utility certifications.
