You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

Tell your legislators not to cut funding for a clean, efficient energy future.

Last week, a proposal was introduced into budget negotiations that would eliminate all state funding for the Construction Codes and Industrialized Buildings Program in the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

Eliminating state funds would wipe out DCA's Construction Codes section, which is responsible for administering Georgia's building codes - including model energy efficiency standards - as mandated by law. The safety, quality, and efficiency of Georgia's homes and commercial buildings will suffer if this proposal passes.

The proposal seeks to eliminate $218,821 in state funding. This could halt all the current efforts to adopt the latest building codes and the Georgia Green Building Code effective June 30.

The state has already received $82.5 million in State Energy Program funds from the Department of Energy that were intended, in part, to help Georgia adopt and implement the latest model energy codes, let your elected representatives know that you support full funding for ensuring the safety, quality, and energy efficiency of Georgia's homes and businesses.

Your message will be sent to each of the following targets:

Representative Alex Atwood
Representative John Carson
Representative Spencer Frye
Senator Brandon Beach
Senator Jack Hill
Senator Tommie Williams
