AN ACT
To amend chapter 160, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to school energy audits.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 160, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 160.2150, to read as follows:
160.2150. 1. All elementary schools and high schools shall conduct energy audits and report results of such audits to the office of administration.
2. (1) Each year twenty percent of elementary schools and high schools in this state shall have a professional audit performed. The office of administration shall determine which schools are to perform a professional audit for that particular year. The state shall reimburse each school up to six hundred dollars from the energy audit fund created in subsection 3 of this section for such audit.
(2) Years in which such schools do not have a professional audit the schools shall conduct a self audit. Any elementary school or high school conducting a self audit may utilize the programs offered by Energy Star via its internet website. Each school shall appoint a person to keep track of such data and submit annual results to the office of administration.
3. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "Energy Audit Fund", which shall consist of money appropriated to it by the general assembly. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and shall approve disbursements from the fund in accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180. Upon appropriation, money in the fund shall be used solely for the administration of this section. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary, any moneys remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the credit of the general revenue fund. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in the same manner as other funds are invested. Any interest and moneys earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.
