HB 3586 prohibits taxing units from granting property tax abatements for large-scale solar power facilities. The bill applies to solar facilities with a generation or storage capacity of 10 megawatts or more and prevents local governments from entering into agreements under the Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act (Chapter 312 of the Tax Code) that would exempt such facilities from ad valorem taxation. The law applies only to agreements entered into on or after its effective date.
