Shasta County

Assembly Bill 205 has rural Shasta County in a dust-up with the state, which was cemented last month with a lawsuit filed by county officials that challenges the California Energy Commission’s jurisdiction over the Fountain Wind Project, a nearly $500 million proposal that calls for 48 wind turbines to be built.

The legislation, a response to one county’s decision to end its contract with Dominion Voting Systems, would bar county supervisors from such actions without transition plans and replacement contracts already enacted.
