AI Summary
This bill requires each county board of education to collect data on school building energy usage and report that data to the Interagency Commission on School Construction (a state-level commission). The bill mandates that the Interagency Commission develop regulations specifying exactly what energy usage data must be collected and how often and by what means this data should be reported. Additionally, the Commission will be responsible for analyzing the collected data and providing recommendations to county boards about how to improve school building energy efficiency and usage. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which gives school districts and the Commission time to prepare for the new reporting requirements. By requiring systematic data collection and analysis, the bill aims to help schools better understand their energy consumption and identify potential opportunities for reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
