What’s in it

This bill relates to state energy conservation requirements. The bill allows a governmental subdivision to adopt energy conservation requirements that are less restrictive than the state building code. The bill prohibits the state building code commissioner from amending or rescinding current rules creating energy conservation requirements except as required by the adoption of a statute by the general assembly. The bill allows the state building code commissioner to submit a proposal for the amendment or rescission of energy conservation requirements to the general assembly, which shall include an estimate of all costs associated with the amendment or rescission.
