What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a $10,000,000 per year grant program under which the

Department of Public Instruction must award grants to school districts for energy

efficiency projects in school buildings. For the first two school years of the grant

program, DPI must give preference in awarding grants to projects that relate to

heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. DPI may promulgate rules to

implement the grant program.
