Home Energy Relief Act

This bill changes two federal home energy rebate programs created by Public Law 117-169. It removes the rule that bars people from combining these rebates with other federal grants or rebates for the same upgrade. It lets State energy offices and Indian Tribes give an extra bonus rebate, up to 20 percent of the original rebate, for electric appliance and other upgrades in housing built before 1970, as long as total rebates do not exceed the project cost. It also requires the Secretary of Energy to report to Congress each year, starting within two years, on how many households got rebates, their average energy savings, and ideas for reaching more low-income households.
