LR 2853
Item 1
 
establish, to the extent funds and resources are available, a
voluntary training program for installers of solar equipment and a
voluntary training program for energy auditors. The bill directs
the commission to seek federal funding sources to support the
provision of such services and authorizes the commission to charge
reasonable fees for such services if federal funding is not
available or sufficient.

 
The bill also repeals a provision of law relating to federal
programs that the Public Utilities Commission is required to
administer and instead directs the commission to administer the
United States Department of Energy State Energy Program and other
federally funded programs related to functions that the
commission performs.

 
The bill moves responsibility for the federally funded Energy
Conservation Small Business Revolving Loan Program from the
Department of Economic and Community Development to the Public
Utilities Commission. This move was intended to be accomplished
by legislation passed in a prior session but for technical
reasons was not fully accomplished.
