Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Weatherization sponsors get application decision deadlines

Washington’s Department of Commerce must seek low-income weatherization proposals when money has been set aside specifically for that purpose. It must approve or deny community project proposals within 90 days after the application period closes. These requirements do not guarantee approval, funding, or services for any household.

Neighborhood home upgrades with different priorities

Sponsors can seek grants and matching funds for weatherization, energy upgrades, and repairs across several homes, including homes without low-income residents. Washington’s Department of Commerce must identify overlapping environmental, social, or economic conditions that may harm residents in these areas. It must consider public income and social data when ranking projects serving low-income areas; sponsors use department-set community indicators. The usual priority for households at or below 125% of the federal poverty level does not apply within these projects. Low-income homes in these projects also do not have to receive every cost-effective, structurally feasible weatherization measure.
