Introduced

To give local governments the power to create a voluntary program in which they would lend a property owner money for “energy efficiency improvements” or a “renewable energy system,” and also levy a special assessment on the property from which the loan would be repaid. Local governments would be able to incur new debt to pay for the improvements, for repayment of which they could pledge the special assessment revenue but not general tax revenue.
