By

allows applicants to proceed to build solar distributed energy resource systems
immediately. Requires government
entities in the State that issue building permits to develop guidance for
determining specific conditions when a Federal Emergency Management Agency-mandated
No-Rise Certification is not required for a solar distributed energy resource
system located in a regulatory floodway.
