This bill would repeal the 2025 law changes that cut back federal clean energy tax credits and would require the Departments of Energy and Transportation and the EPA to reinstate certain grants ended after January 19, 2025. It would require federal permitting of wind, solar, storage, and related transmission projects to be no more restrictive than permitting for oil, gas, or coal projects. It would expand the home energy assistance program, rename it the Home Energy Assistance Program, raise income eligibility limits, and set new rules for energy suppliers that receive program funds, such as limits on late fees and shutoffs. It would also raise the weatherization spending limit per home, create a cool roof rebate program, and make changes to electricity transmission planning, utility regulation, and energy development on public lands and waters.
