            The renewable energy and energy efficiency for schools loan
       program provides loans to school districts to help them pay for technical
       assistance, equipment, or installation costs associated with renewable
       energy and energy efficiency projects. The bill authorizes a school district
       that receives a loan to also use the money received to conduct an energy
       audit for the purpose of establishing the amount of energy savings
       expected to result from such a project.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:

       project or an energy efficiency project and may also use such moneys
       to pay for an energy audit for the purpose of establishing the
       energy savings expected to result from the completion of such
       a project.
