Assembly Bill 3 (22nd Special Session) became law as NRS 701.220 which enforces adoption of regulations for energy conservation in buildings; exemptions; applicability and enforcement; as well as procedure for adoption of building energy codes. The state energy code must be updated to the most recent version every three years. Adoption of the state energy code will only be required of areas that do not already have an energy code in place. On June 15, 2007, Governor Gibbons signed Assembly Bill 621 into law. Among the provisions passed in the wide-reaching energy efficiency and renewable energy bill is an update making various changes relating to the application procedures for and provision of tax abatements and exemptions based upon the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System. |
