Solar farms; certain county commissions authorized to establish zoning requirements, penalties for violations and appeal process provided

This bill authorizes county commissions in Alabama's Gulf Coast counties to create their own zoning rules for solar farms. It allows these counties to set standards for where solar farms can be built, how they are constructed and operated, and to establish penalty systems for violations. The legislation also creates an appeal process for property owners who disagree with county decisions, permits the counties to charge administrative fees, and gives them the authority to remove non-compliant structures at the owner's expense.
