Description

Retention of energy savings by state agencies. Establishes a program under which the amount of general funds appropriated for a state agency's operating costs will be held harmless from any reduction in projected operational expenditures that results from the state agency's implementation of an energy conservation program. State agencies are required to prepare an approved energy conservation program for each building the state agency occupies or, if it does not occupy an entire building, for the portion of a building it occupies, based on guidelines to be developed by the Department of General Services. The program is required to identify specific measures that the state agency may implement in order to reduce energy expenditures. The Department shall track the energy expenditures for each state agency and calculate its energy savings, which shall be reported to the Department of Planning and Budget, the House Appropriations Committee, and the Senate Finance Committee.
