Rescinding the Grant Programs for Schools and Hospitals and Buildings Owned by Units of Local Government and Public Care Institutions Regulations
Summary
The Department of Energy is proposing to eliminate federal grant programs that provided funding to schools, hospitals, local government buildings, and public care facilities to improve their energy efficiency and infrastructure. This change would remove a source of federal money that these institutions have been using to reduce energy costs and improve their facilities.
