AI Summary
This bill requires each county board of education to collect data on school building energy usage and report that data monthly to the Interagency Commission on School Construction. The Interagency Commission will be responsible for creating regulations that specify exactly what data needs to be collected and how often it should be reported. Additionally, the Commission must analyze the collected energy usage data and provide recommendations to county boards about how they can improve the energy efficiency and usage of their school buildings. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, giving school systems time to prepare for the new reporting requirements. By mandating this data collection and analysis, the legislation aims to help school districts better understand and potentially reduce their energy consumption, which could lead to cost savings and environmental benefits.
