Key stakeholders—including energy efficiency advocates, businesses, and trade associations, along with representatives of the homebuilding industry—negotiated this language.

We are very concerned that weakening these provisions would unravel this hard-fought compromise and severely jeopardize the opportunity to enact meaningful energy legislation this year.
