Summary
The bill removes rules that stopped people from stacking existing HOMES and high‑efficiency electric home rebates with other federal grants. It also creates a new bonus rebate—up to 20% of the original rebate—for qualifying electrification projects in homes built before 1970. The changes aim to expand rebate access for working families, renters, and owners of older houses, and require the Energy Department to report annually on usage and savings.
