State governments can support the implementation of solar energy technologies by addressing institutional obstacles, e.g., ambiguities or disincentives which are parts of existing laws, regulations, or tax levies. Other actions that state governments can take include providing tax incentives, public information, and demonstrations with state building projects. This report lists and abstracts all state laws enacted during 1974 and 1975 that relate to solar energy utilization. The abstracts are grouped under these headings: property tax incentives, income tax incentives, sales tax incentives, state financed energy research and development of solar technologies, life-cycle cost analysis, solar provisions in state building codes, access to incident solar energy, solar energy informational and promotional activities, and state financed buildings using solar energy. Citations of selected state solar energy publications and an index of enactments by states are included. (BYB)
