Bill > S1322

This bill proposes to allow businesses to deduct half of the costs they incur when offering employees a home energy efficiency audit as a benefit of employment. This audit would involve an energy auditor identifying areas of energy loss in an employee's home and a home contractor implementing efficiency measures, specifically those defined as "Level 1" by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) of the National Association of State Energy Officials. For this deduction to be available, half of the expenditures for these combined services must be part of an energy efficiency plan approved by the department of public utilities. This initiative aims to encourage businesses to invest in their employees' home energy efficiency, potentially leading to cost savings for both employees and the environment.
