California's governor has signed AB 1156 into law, creating new pathways for solar energy development on land enrolled in the Williamson Act, the state's agricultural land preservation program. The bill allows certain solar projects on restricted farmland under revised conditions, and legal analysts are highlighting the implications for renewable energy siting and land-use policy across the state.
