Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL CAPITAL OUTLAY; REQUIRING PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS IN NEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS; CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF "BUILDING SYSTEM" IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CAPITAL OUTLAY ACT.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public School Capital Outlay Act to require that any new public school proposed for construction after July 1, 2021 with grant assistance from the Public School Capital Outlay Fund must include a photovoltaic system sufficient to meet the energy needs of the school. The bill also changes the definition of "building system" to include photovoltaic systems as part of the set of interacting parts that make up a school facility. The bill provides context by explaining that a "photovoltaic system" refers to a power system designed to supply usable solar power, which may be grid-tied, grid-hybrid, or off-grid.
