Ends home energy rebates for homeowners

If enacted, this would end several Department of Energy programs for home upgrades. It would repeal the high-efficiency electric home rebate, state contractor training grants, and help for adopting the latest and zero-energy building codes. It would also take back any unspent money for the rebate program and the building-code assistance. Homeowners planning to use these rebates would lose that support, and state energy offices and contractors would lose expected funds. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
