Bill > S08753

This bill makes technical changes to the mechanical insulation energy savings program, primarily by expanding the types of entities that can apply for the program to include public housing and public hospitals, in addition to school districts, and by clarifying the grant amounts available for qualified mechanical insulation expenditures, which will now cover at least fifty but no more than seventy-five percent of the costs, rather than a full hundred percent. The bill also specifies that grants will be issued on a competitive, first-come, first-served basis and allows the administering authority to coordinate with other state agencies or offices to manage the program, while also requiring the authority to develop and publish guidelines for the evaluation criteria and application process.
