Requiring local government and tribal approval of wind and solar siting recommendations by the energy facility site evaluation council.

This bill requires local governments and affected federally recognized tribes to approve recommendations made by the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council for wind and solar energy facility locations. If passed, the governor could not approve a wind or solar energy facility without these local and tribal approvals. This change would affect the process for siting new wind and solar energy facilities in Washington state.
