Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of House Bill 1433, the deadline for the Department of Commerce to adopt a home energy scoring system has been moved from June 30, 2024, to December 31, 2023. This change is significant because it accelerates the timeline for implementing a standardized way to evaluate the energy efficiency of homes, which could encourage more energy-efficient practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions sooner. Additionally, the new version clarifies that while individual addresses will not be reported, the department can still gather useful aggregate data for better energy analysis, helping to protect homeowner privacy while still promoting energy efficiency improvements.
