HB 20-1045

Abstract

Investor-owned Utility Review Interim Study Committee. To ensure consistent funding of energy efficiency improvement programs, including the state weatherization assistance program, the bill establishes a formula by which the general assembly will authorize the state treasurer to transfer money from the general fund to the Colorado energy office low-income energy assistance fund or the energy outreach Colorado low-income energy assistance fund for use for energy efficiency improvement programs if, in a given year, an amount less than $1 million is transferred from the severance tax operational fund to the Colorado energy office low-income energy assistance fund or the energy outreach Colorado low-income energy assistance fund. The formula calls for a transfer of money from the general fund in an amount equal to 75% of the difference between the amount transferred from the severance tax operational fund to one of the funds and $1 million.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
