SB 1190 (Deeds) and HB 2126 (Sullivan), legislation to mandate that every locality incorporate into its comprehensive plan targets for utility-scale solar energy production, failed to pass in their respective chambers. SB 1190 failed to pass on the Senate floor after being passed by for the day on the final day before “crossover” when all legislation from the originating chamber must be acted upon. HB 2126 failed in House Labor and Commerce Subcommittee #4 by a vote of 4 to 1.
