Please correct me if I am wrong. But I just re-read the legislation and I made the below suggested edit.

Original:
If HB 1039 is signed by the governor, community solar projects will be exempt from county or municipal corporation property tax if they meet one of three criteria:

They provide at least 50% of energy for low-to-moderate-income customers at a cost that’s at least 20% less than the amount charged by the electric company that serves the area,
are used for agrivoltaics,
or are installed on a rooftop, brownfield, landfill or clean fill.
