HB 5803 Illinois House · 104th Regular Session

LOCAL SOLAR AUTHORITY ACT

This bill clarifies that the state's solar bill of rights protections do not apply to commercial solar energy systems, which are instead governed by existing property tax rules. It also updates county and municipal codes to specify that shared roof regulations generally do not apply to buildings taller than 60 feet or those with shared roofs, unless specific conditions like unanimous owner agreement or exclusive ownership are met. The legislation affects local governments and property owners by defining when solar rules must be followed and when they are exempted based on building type and roof usage.
