H.216 is a bill introduced by Representative Mrowicki that aims to authorize the adoption of Clean Heat Standard rules, which are designed to promote the use of renewable energy in heating. A key feature of this bill is the implementation of a price cap on clean heat credits, ensuring that the cost associated with the Clean Heat Standard Program does not increase the price of fossil heating fuels by more than $0.10 per gallon during the first five years of the program.

The bill seeks to balance the transition to cleaner heating options with the economic impact on consumers, thereby encouraging the adoption of renewable energy while maintaining affordability. By establishing this price cap, the legislation aims to mitigate potential financial burdens on households and businesses that rely on fossil fuels for heating.
