That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to protect the health of persons who may be affected by noise and shadow flicker from wind turbines; to give further effect to the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters done at Aarhus, Denmark on 25 June 1998; and to provide for related matters.
