___________________ moved that SB 166 be amended as follows:
"
Section 1. As used in this Act, the term, wind collector system, means all power lines and
associated equipment located between the first substation and the wind turbines that collect electricity
and transmit it from the wind turbines to the first substation.
Section 2. Any person, any political subdivision of this state, or any other public or private entity,
however organized, that constructs, maintains, or operates a wind collector system for the purpose
of producing electric energy shall, prior to the conclusion of planning for construction of any such
project, notify in writing any telecommunications company having telecommunications facilities
located within one mile of the proposed site, according to the records of the one-call notification
system established by chapter 49-7A, of the intent to construct and the proposed location of the wind
collector system. The telecommunications company shall contact the developer of the wind collector
system at the address given in the notice required by this section within thirty days of the notice
required by this Act and request a planning meeting to be held within thirty days of the request with
the developer of the wind collector system at a location mutually convenient to both parties. A
planning meeting, once properly requested, shall be held and attended by knowledgeable
representatives of the parties. If no request for a planning meeting is made, the developer is not
required to meet with the telecommunications company. At the meeting the parties may discuss any
concerns with the location or engineering design of the wind collector system, including the avoidance
of inductive interference associated with the project."
