This bill allows taxpayers's to receive a tax credit of 30% up to $1,500 of the cost of approved energy efficiency home improvements. This bill extends, amends and expands tax credits originally introduced in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) and amended in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-343).
