A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO CONTINUE TO STUDY WAYS TO PROMOTE ENERGY CONSERVATION IN BUILDINGS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the Legislative Research Commission was authorized in 1991 to study Ways to Promote the Conservation of Energy and the Use of Renewable Energy Sources in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Public Facilities; and
Whereas, this committee proved to be an excellent forum for different State agencies that have some role in promoting energy conservation, architects and engineers, industry, and environmental groups to present their respective opinions for needed changes and improvements in promoting energy conservation; and
Whereas, this committee found that energy conservation saves the State and its citizens money by reducing energy costs and at the same time protects the environment; and
Whereas, due to time constraints, this committee was unable to address all the important issues within the scope of its study; and it is in the best interests of the State that these energy issues receive the attention and consideration of a legislative study committee; 
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring;
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission is authorized to continue the study of ways to promote energy conservation in buildings in North Carolina.  The Commission may address all issues that bear on energy conservation in residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities, especially State facilities.
Sec. 2.  The Commission shall report its findings and recommendations to the 1995 General Assembly and may make an interim report to the 1994 Session of the 1993 General Assembly.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
