Day Three: The New Year Countdown – Battery Charged Fences
This year, Municipal Minute will be counting down to the New Year with updates on legislation that will be effective starting on January 1, 2025.
Public Act 103-0796 (Act) restricts local control over land use regulations governing battery-charged fences. Staring January 1, 2025, municipalities, townships, and counties may not require a permit or other approval for the installation or maintenance of a battery-charged fence if the fence is on non-residential property and the electric charge produced by the fence is below the requirements set by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
Additionally, any battery-charged fence must have visible warning signs placed every 30-feet.
This Act contains an express preemption of home rule powers. A home rule municipality may not regulate battery-charged fences in a manner that is inconsistent with the Act.
