SB 25-141

Senate Bill 25-141 exempts small towns with fewer than 2,500 residents from having to follow energy codes for residential buildings. This means that these smaller municipalities won't be required to enforce new rules about energy efficiency in homes after July 1, 2023. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now official and will affect how these towns manage building regulations.

Official Summary

Under current law, every governing body of a municipality that has adopted and enforced a building code after July 1, 2023, is required to adopt and begin enforcing an energy code for residential buildings. The bill creates an exemption for municipalities with a population of less than 2,500 residents from having to adopt and enforce an energy code for residential buildings.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
