(i) Is a net-metering customer as defined in § 23-18-603;

(ii) Is a net-metering facility as defined in § 23-18-603; or

(iii) Develops, plans, installs, constructs, or otherwise provides a net-metering facility as defined in § 23-18-603 to a met-metering customer as defined in § 23-18-603;

Senate Bill 145 is sponsored by Senator David Wallace of Leachville, Arkansas.

The legislation would also address the phrases “net-metering customer” and “net-metering facility.”
