In one sentence

This proposed law requires companies selling or leasing solar, wind, or battery systems to give home and small business owners a detailed written disclosure form at least thirty days before signing any contract.

Requires sales companies to provide a written disclosure form that is five pages or less with specific details about the system, costs, warranties, and risks.
Mandates that disclosures include contact information for the president or chief executive officer of the sales company, installation company, and maintenance provider.
Demands clear explanations of how much energy the system will produce, potential savings estimates based on prior utility bills, and what happens during power outages.
Requires companies to list any environmental hazards within one mile of the property and explain real estate access rights needed by utilities or sellers.
States that removing solar panels without permission from the sales company may void warranties.

The bill was indefinitely postponed by the legislature on April 17, 2026, so it did not become active law.
The provided text ends before listing all required written statements about cost savings and utility fees.
