HB 1932 -- Energy Efficiency Ratings of Newly Constructed Homes

Sponsor:  Low

This bill requires, unless prohibited by any other provision of
law or county or municipal ordinance, a seller as part of a newly
constructed residential home sales transaction occurring on or
after August 28, 2010, to disclose its energy efficiency rating
under the energy star rating system to the purchaser at least one
week before completion of the sale.  If a seller fails to
disclose the rating on time, the purchaser may withhold $500 from
the purchase price; or if full payment has already been made, he
or she may pursue legal action for the $500 refund and other
costs and attorney fees.
