Board authorizes regional letter opposing SB 1329 on large-scale solar projects
Summary
The Board authorized the chair to sign a San Joaquin Valley regional association letter opposing Senate Bill 1329, which concerns large-scale commercial solar projects; the board approved the request 5–0.
Madera County joined other San Joaquin Valley counties in opposing Senate Bill 1329, authorizing the chair to sign a joint letter on behalf of the San Joaquin Valley Regional Association of California Counties. Matt Triber, regional representative on the matter, presented the request and the board approved the letter by a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board’s recorded vote was 5–0 in favor of authorizing the chair to sign the letter opposing SB 1329 as introduced, which the presenters said relates to large-scale commercial solar project provisions and tax/timing impacts. Staff described the authorization as the county’s regional association position; the board took no other policy action at the meeting.
What’s next: Staff will send the signed opposition letter as authorized and continue regional coordination on the bill’s language.
