This bill amends the Property Assessed Clean Energy Act in Nebraska by updating legislative findings and definitions related to energy efficiency, grid resiliency, and renewable energy. Key insertions include the addition of "grid resiliency" as a focus area for energy projects, along with specific definitions for "grid resiliency improvement" and related terms. The bill emphasizes the importance of these improvements for public health and economic well-being, while also addressing the financial barriers that property owners face in implementing such projects.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing provisions regarding the creation of clean energy assessment districts by municipalities, including requirements for public hearings and the establishment of assessment contracts. It mandates that municipalities ensure proper installation and operation of energy projects and outlines the responsibilities of property owners regarding annual assessments. The original sections of the law are repealed to incorporate these changes, reflecting a comprehensive update to support energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives in Nebraska.
