Homeowner Energy Freedom Act
S 2806, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, repeals three specific provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act that provided federal funding for home energy programs. It eliminates the high-efficiency electric home rebate program, state grants for contractor training, and assistance for adopting modern building energy codes. The bill also rescinds unobligated funds from these repealed programs and amends a related section to remove references to the repealed rebate program. This directly affects homeowners who would have accessed these energy efficiency programs and contractors who relied on the training grants. The bill makes no new program provisions but formally removes existing federal support for these specific home energy initiatives.
