What it does

Homeowner Energy Freedom Act This bill repeals the Department of Energy's (1) high-efficiency electric home rebate program for certain electrification projects in low- or moderate-income households, (2) state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and (3) assistance for states and local governments to adopt specified building energy codes. It also rescinds any unobligated balances available for the rebates or adopting the building energy codes. (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act .

2Homeowner energy freedom

This section would repeal three parts of Public Law 117-169: Section 50122 (42 U.S.C. 18795a), which set up a high-efficiency electric home rebate program; Section 50123 (42 U.S.C. 18795b), which provided State-based grants to train home energy efficiency contractors; and Section 50131 (136 Stat. 2041), which provided assistance for adopting the latest building energy codes and zero energy building codes. Any money made available under sections 50122 and 50131, as those sections existed immediately before this Act takes effect, that has not yet been obligated (committed to a specific use) would be rescinded, taking back that unused funding; this rescission would not apply to section 50123. The section would also amend Section 50121(c)(7) of Public Law 117-169 (42 U.S.C. 18795(c)(7)) by removing the language there that listed a rebate provided under the high-efficiency electric home rebate program (the program repealed by this section) as an example covered by that provision, so section 50121(c)(7) would no longer reference that rebate program.
