AI Summary
This bill, known as the "all-electric building act," prohibits the use of infrastructure, building systems, or equipment for the combustion of fossil fuels in new construction statewide by December 31, 2023 for buildings less than seven stories, and by July 1, 2027 for buildings seven stories or more. The bill allows for some exemptions, such as for emergency backup power or buildings designated for specific commercial uses, but requires those areas to be "all-electric ready" to facilitate future conversion. It also requires a joint report from several state agencies on changes needed to ensure this policy does not diminish affordable housing or increase electricity costs for customers in all-electric buildings.
