Allowing limited exemptions to renewable energy systems requirements for certain school districts.
By resolution, returned to Senate Rules Committee for third reading.
Summary
The bill directs Washington’s building code council to waive the requirement that new school buildings over 10,000 square feet include a renewable‑energy system, but only for districts with 500 or fewer students located in designated counties. It also prevents those districts from having to earn extra efficiency credits to qualify for the exemption. The change aims to reduce construction costs for very small, rural districts while the rest of the state continues to pursue energy‑efficiency goals.
