AI Summary

This bill establishes the Street Light Conversion Revolving Loan Fund within the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (the Center) to provide zero-interest loans to municipalities for the conversion of some or all of their street lighting to light-emitting diode (LED) technology. The fund will be financed through appropriations, bond proceeds, federal grants, and private donations, and will be administered by the Center. The Center will make the loans available through agreements with approved banks in the Commonwealth. To be eligible, municipalities must provide information on the loan amount, a price quote from a vendor, and evidence of their financial ability to repay the loan through the energy savings from the conversion to LED lighting. The loans will be repaid over a 10-year term, and the Attorney General will enforce collection of any loans in default.
