This bill establishes a commission to study the potential implementation of a Residential Property Assessed Clean Energy or Resiliency (R-PACER) program in New Hampshire. The commission will consist of various members, including representatives from the House and Senate, as well as executive directors from relevant state authorities. The commission's responsibilities include studying the costs and benefits of the R-PACER program, reviewing the existing C-PACER program, assessing experiences from other states, and making recommendations on the program's implementation, including necessary statutory authority and resources.

Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of RSA 53-F:9, which pertains to the R-PACER commission, indicating that the current framework will be replaced by the newly established commission. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations by October 15, 2026, while the effective date for the repeal will also be on that date. The remainder of the act will take effect upon its passage.
