Bill Summary

For legislation to spark the modernization of state heating systems. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize state heating systems by requiring the use of alternate technologies that are not fossil fuel dependent for certain new or renovated buildings owned or funded by the state. Specifically, the bill requires a life-cycle cost analysis to evaluate the short-term and long-term costs of using alternate technologies, including the value of avoiding carbon emissions and creating renewable energy certificates. The Executive Office of Administration and Finance will promulgate regulations to implement these requirements, with some exceptions where the cost difference between alternate and fossil fuel technologies exceeds 10% of the total construction cost or where federal law prohibits such construction.
