A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO CONTINUE TO STUDY WAYS TO PROMOTE ENERGY CONSERVATION AND THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES 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 study 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 study 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 study committee was unable to address all the important issues within the scope of its study; and it is in the best interest of the State that these as well as other energy issues receive the attention and consideration of a legislative study committee;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission is authorized to study ways to promote energy conservation and the use of renewable sources of energy in North Carolina.  The Commission may address all issues that bear on energy conservation in this State.
Sec. 2.  The Commission shall report its findings and recommendations to the 1995 General Assembly and may make an interim report to the 1994 Regular Session of the 1993 General Assembly.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
