Home » Shaheen-Portman Energy-Efficiency Bill Delayed in Senate
Construction officials were optimistic this spring, when a Senate committee approved an energy-efficiency bill with features deemed favorable to the industry. However, the measure may not make it to the Senate floor for a full vote by the end of the calendar year, observers say.
