Bill Summary

AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE ENERGY, MINERALS AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT TO CREATE A LINK ON THE DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE THAT DIRECTS A USER TO THE WEBPAGE ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S WEBSITE THAT DISPLAYS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST ROOFTOP SOLAR PANEL INSTALLERS AND INCLUDES DIRECTIONS FOR CONSUMERS TO FILE COMPLAINTS AGAINST ROOFTOP SOLAR PANEL INSTALLERS.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $100,000 from the state's general fund to the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department to create a specific website link in fiscal year 2026. The link will direct users to a webpage on the State Department of Justice's website that serves two primary purposes: first, to display consumer complaints that have been filed against rooftop solar panel installers, and second, to provide clear instructions for consumers on how they can file their own complaints against solar panel installation companies. Any money from this appropriation that remains unspent or uncommitted by the end of fiscal year 2026 will be returned to the general fund. The bill aims to increase transparency and consumer protection in the rooftop solar panel installation industry by making complaint information more accessible to the public.
