The Division of Energy houses programs related to energy policy,

efficiency
and education. Specific program include low-income
weatherization assistance, the energy revolving fund
and certification
of home energy auditors.
The General Assembly may reverse
this decision if it acts before April 8 (60 days after the executive order was
signed on February 4). If this does not
occur, the transfer will become effective on August 28.
