Senate Bill 1263 would modify energy efficiency requirements for public buildings, create energy efficiency standards for certain products, and create home improvement energy efficiency incentive programs.

Senate Bill 1117 would create requirements and provide incentives for environmentally sustainable buildings.

Both bills were referred to the Senate Commerce, Energy and the Environment Committee. On March 6, 2008 a hearing was conducted regarding both bills.

On January 28, 2008, House Bill 1863 (Energy Conservation) was introduced.  It would require all state buildings to meet the International Energy Conservation Code by July 1, 2010, and requires state agencies to purchase lowest lifecycle cost equipment. State agencies must reduce their energy use by 15% by July 1, 2013, and may reinvest the savings to provide for infrastructure needs of their facilities.
