New residential energy code adoption requirement repealer
This bill repeals a requirement that would have mandated Minnesota to adopt new residential energy codes starting in 2026. It deletes the specific provision (previously section 326B.106, subdivision 1(g)) that required the commissioner to adopt codes aiming for a 70% reduction in residential building energy use by 2038. The repeal eliminates future updates to residential energy standards, removing a requirement that would have affected builders, developers, and local jurisdictions implementing construction codes. This change directly alters the process for updating Minnesota's residential energy efficiency rules without establishing new targets.
