AI Summary
This bill repeals the requirement for the commissioner to adopt new model residential energy codes every six years, specifically removing provisions that mandated the adoption of new editions of the International Energy Conservation Code starting in 2026 and aiming for a 70 percent reduction in energy consumption by 2038, using a specific 2006 baseline. The bill leaves in place the existing requirements for adopting new model commercial energy codes, which are updated more frequently and have different energy reduction targets.
