AI Summary
- Amends Section 193.624, Florida Statutes, to expand the definition of "renewable energy source device" to include equipment that collects, transmits, stores, or uses energy derived from biogas as defined in s. 366.91(2), in addition to the existing categories of solar, wind, and geothermal energy
- Adds a new category (n) of qualifying equipment: pipes, structural facilities, structural support, and other machinery integral to the interconnection, production, storage, compression, transportation, processing, and conversion of biogas from landfill waste, livestock farm waste (including manure), food waste, or treated wastewater into renewable natural gas
- Excludes from the definition any equipment on the distribution or transmission side of the point where a renewable energy source device connects to a natural gas pipeline or distribution system, mirroring the existing exclusion for electric utility grid interconnections
- Qualifying renewable energy source devices under this section receive favorable property tax assessment treatment, meaning biogas-related equipment would now benefit from the same assessment provisions as solar, wind, and geothermal devices
- Takes effect upon becoming a law
