This bill would make it simpler and faster for people to install things like solar panels, wind systems, and electric vehicle chargers at home. It would create a program to help local governments offer easier, faster permits and inspections for these energy systems. This could reduce delays and costs for homeowners and installers.
Today, getting permits and inspections for home energy systems like solar panels or EV chargers can be slow and complicated due to varying local rules.
