Panel approves bill to increase solar regulations
A Senate panel approved a bill Monday that would add more regulations to the rooftop solar industry, despite protests from solar companies that the bill is government overreach.
New laws take effect Jan. 1
Beginning Jan. 1, buyers of solar equipment for their homes will get new consumer protections, survivors of first responders can get a vehicle registered for free, and those who bury courts in legally meaningless filings will have to pay their own way.
