Amended energy audit bill has been passed.
Author: Bernice McNutt // Category: Durham Region Real EstateProvincial legislation, Bill 150, making home energy audits mandatory for home sellers, unless waived by buyers, has been passed; however, the Bill’s requirements regarding home energy audits are NOT YET IN EFFECT and are not expected to take effect until 2010.
As originally proposed, Bill 150 would have required home sellers to provide information, through standardized energy audits, about the home’s energy efficiency to a buyer before they could sell the property to them. After Realtors and their associations, along with the public worked to raise concerns about this proposal, Bill 150 was amended to allow buyers to waive this requirement.
Now that Bill 150 has been passed, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is working on preparing regulations that will outline the details on how the home energy audit requirement will be implemented. The home energy audit requirement will not take effect until these regulations are finalized, expected in 2010. Realtors expect to work with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure to provide input on the regulations. If you’d like your say, just let me know and I’ll forward the latest information to you.
