Title of bill
An act to amend the energy law, in relation to establishing a pilot program in the county of Suffolk to offer rebates for the purchase of energy efficient building products; and making an appropriation therefor
Purpose
To allow Suffolk County residents over the age of 65 to clarify for a rebate of up to $2,000 for the purchase of energy efficient building products.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 creates a pilot program in Suffolk County for the renovation, repair, refurbishing, refitting, upgrade or other improvements for households of individuals age 65 and over. This section specifically enumerates that products must be energy star certified building products and sets forth criteria for the eligibility of individuals. Section 2 transfers $1 million for this program. Section 3 is the effective date.
Justification
Many seniors wish to make energy efficiency upgrades to their homes but are incapable of doing so as they are on a fixed income. Further, many of these projects are necessary to ensure the health and well being of these seniors. Extreme heat or cold caused by aging building products could be deadly to seniors. This legislation would allow Suffolk County Seniors to get a rebate on improvements they make to their home. These improvements will have vast benefit to their day to day lives as well as to their home values.
