Remove lines 23-40 and insert:
(1) (a) The Legislature finds that floating solar
7 facilities, also known as "floatavoltaics," can be effective
8 tools in harnessing energy in bodies of water that have been
9 permitted for storage.
10 (b) The Legislature finds that siting floating solar
11 facilities on wastewater treatment ponds, abandoned limerock
12 mine areas, stormwater treatment ponds, reclaimed water ponds,
13 and other water storage reservoirs are beneficial uses of those
14 areas for many reasons, including the fact that the water has a
15 cooling effect on the solar panels which can boost power
16 production and the panels help decrease the amount of water lost
