HOUSE BILL 287
RS30564 / H0287
This legislation amends the retroactivity clause of the Idaho Energy Conservation Code provisions contained in Idaho code 39-9701 to make it retroactive to the date of implementation. H660, passed into law in the 2022 legislative session put the 2018 Energy Conservation Code into statute and prohibits local jurisdictions from adopting energy conservation codes or requirements that differ from or are more extensive than those provided for in 39-9701. The retroactivity language contained in that chapter has resulted in misinterpretation or abuse of the legislative intent of H660 by some jurisdictions. This legislation intends to clarify that provisions of 39-9701 are in effect.
This legislation has no impact on the state general fund. Idaho homebuyers will realize savings as additional, expensive energy conservation provisions beyond those required by statute will be voluntary and not mandated by local jurisdictions.
