Homeowner Energy Freedom Act
HR 1603, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, repeals three specific provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law 117-169) that established federal programs. It eliminates a high-efficiency electric home rebate program (Section 50122), state-based contractor training grants (Section 50123), and assistance for adopting modern building energy codes (Section 50131). The bill also rescinds unobligated funds allocated to these repealed programs. These changes directly affect homeowners who would have qualified for rebates, states administering energy efficiency programs, and contractors participating in training grants. The law removes these specific federal mechanisms without creating new programs or altering energy code requirements.
