Bill > S1709

This bill aims to reduce energy burdens and boost competitiveness by making specific changes to Massachusetts General Laws. Section 1 amends Chapter 25A, Section 10, Subsection (c), by adjusting the numbering of clauses within that section, specifically removing clause (6) and adding "and" before clause (5), which likely relates to energy-related provisions. Section 2 amends Chapter 143, Section 94, Subsection (o), by removing all text after the phrase "state building code," potentially simplifying or clarifying regulations related to the state building code. Finally, Section 3 amends Chapter 143, Section 98, by adding a new sentence stating that restrictive standards cannot be applied to provisions of the state building code that are based on the International Energy Conservation Code, a widely adopted set of guidelines for energy efficiency in buildings.
