HBA recently submitted a letter of concern to DEQ as part of the rulemaking process for the new “Climate Protection Program (CPP).” There is concern that the rules being proposed will substantially impact builders’ ability to offer natural gas products in homes, an expectation of the consumer. Public input is likely to influence the final rule and decision makers need to hear from all stakeholders.To learn more about this issue or if you intend to offer testimony, contact Ryan Makinster, ryanm@hbapdx.org. We encourage you to submit written comments regarding the proposed rules and how they may affect your business and customers.
