Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the terminology from "commercial property" to "nonresidential property," but the overall goal of the bill remains the same: to allow political subdivisions to provide loans for energy and water efficiency improvements only to larger residential properties with at least five units or to nonresidential properties. This change in wording clarifies the types of properties eligible for loans, which can help ensure that assistance is targeted appropriately to those that need it most. By refining the language, the bill aims to enhance the effectiveness of such programs while maintaining focus on energy efficiency.
