AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce energy burdens and increase competitiveness in the Commonwealth. The key provisions are: 1. Amending a section of the General Laws by striking out a clause and inserting the word "and" before another clause, which suggests a change in the language related to the responsibilities of the Department of Energy Resources. 2. Amending a section of the General Laws by striking out all words after the phrase "state building code", which indicates a change in the language related to the state building code. 3. Inserting a new sentence in a section of the General Laws to clarify that restrictive standards cannot apply to the provisions of the state building code that are based on the International Energy Conservation Code, which suggests an effort to align the state building code with energy efficiency standards.
