The bill would repeal sections of current law concerning a high-efficiency electric home rebate program, state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and assistance for building energy code adoption. It would also rescind unobligated balances of the allocated amounts for these programs. Additionally, a conforming amendment would remove references to the repealed rebate program. Therefore, the bill primarily focuses on repealing specific energy-related programs and their associated funding, potentially impacting homeowner energy efficiency initiatives.
Homeowner Energy Freedom Act
This bill repeals the Department of Energy's (1) high-efficiency electric home rebate program for certain electrification projects in low- or moderate-income households, (2) state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and (3) assistance for states and local governments to adopt specified building energy codes. It also rescinds any unobligated balances available for the rebates or adopting the building energy codes. (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)
