Legislators OK fix for Efficiency Maine funding
The Maine Senate and House of Representatives have approved a bill that would restore $38 million in state funding for the Efficiency Maine program.
The Bangor Daily News reported that L.D. 1215 received near-unanimous support from legislators, with one Republican voting against it. The bill now goes to Gov. Paul LePage, who has said he won’t support it.
If approved, the bill would add the word “and” to a line in a 2013 energy law that would restore $38 million in funding for Efficiency Maine. The passage in question currently says the organization's funding is based on 4% of "total retail electricity transmission and distribution sales," and the proposed change would have it written as "total retail electricity AND transmission and distribution sales."
