An act relating to conducting a Clean Heat Standard study

H 226 proposes hiring a consultant to conduct a study examining how to create a Clean Heat Standard program that would make cleaner heating options cheaper than fossil fuels for Vermont buildings. The study aims to determine practical structures for such a program, focusing on cost comparisons for residential and commercial heating. This bill does not create new regulations but seeks to gather data to inform future policy decisions about heating costs. The study directly affects Vermonters by potentially shaping future energy choices and expenses for heating homes and businesses.
