AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ENERGY PREPARATION SERVICES PROGRAM.

HB 5940 appropriates $8 million from the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to fund the Residential Energy Preparation Services Program under the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. This bill directly provides ongoing financial support for the program, which assists residential households with energy-related preparation services (such as weatherization or efficiency upgrades). The funding ensures the program can continue operating without interruption through the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill contains no new policy requirements or eligibility changes - it solely allocates existing funds for the program’s continued implementation.
