What this amendment would do

SA 3127, submitted by Mr. Reed and others, aims to change the Energy Conservation and Production Act by adding a new fund and updating cost limits for weatherization.

  • Weatherization Readiness Fund: The amendment proposes creating a fund to give money to States. This money must be used to fix structural defects or hazards in dwelling units occupied by low-income people so that weatherization measures can be installed. It authorizes $30,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030.

  • Cost Updates: The amendment changes specific dollar amounts in the law, increasing a $6,500 figure to $15,000 and a $3,000 figure to $6,000.

  • Secretary's Authority: It allows the Secretary to increase the financial assistance provided per dwelling unit beyond the specified limit if market conditions require it to meet the goals of the act.
