## Summary

**Speeds federal energy funding to states**. This bill would require the Department of Energy to publish application guidance and allocation notices within 60 days and to send funds to States, Indian Tribes, and other direct recipients within 30 days after receiving complete plans. - States and Tribal governments would get faster access to money for state energy conservation and weatherization projects, letting them start work sooner and reduce administrative delays. - Local program administrators and households would see clearer, earlier guidance and published allocations, which should speed project planning and shorten wait times for home weatherization and renewable upgrades. - Federal energy programs would get a set funding path: a baseline of $500 million per year plus $100 million each year for 2027 through 2031, distributed to States under the distribution formula in effect on January 1, 2026. *Authorizes $500 million annually plus $100 million per year for 2027–2031, increasing federal outlays for state energy and weatherization programs.*
