Wind power devices; prohibit certain heights for waterfowl conservation.

SB 2057 prohibits wind power devices (like turbines) over 150 feet tall within any 100-square-mile area where 11 or more federally reported bird bands were collected in the past decade. It directly affects wind energy developers planning new projects in these designated zones, which are identified using bird banding data from the U.S. Geological Survey. The bill includes an exception for projects under construction or operational before July 1, 2026, and takes effect on that date. The law aims to balance renewable energy development with waterfowl conservation by restricting taller turbines in areas with significant bird activity.
