Bill 119 HR 1355, also known as the Weatherization Enhancement and Local Energy Efficiency Investment and Accountability Act, aims to amend the Energy Conservation and Production Act in order to reauthorize the Weatherization Assistance Program. This program provides funding to low-income households to improve energy efficiency in their homes, ultimately reducing energy costs and environmental impact.

In addition to reauthorizing the Weatherization Assistance Program, the bill also directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a weatherization readiness program. This program will focus on preparing communities for weatherization projects, ensuring that they have the necessary resources and infrastructure in place to effectively implement energy efficiency measures.

Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 1355 is to enhance the Weatherization Assistance Program and promote energy efficiency in low-income households. By providing funding and support for weatherization projects, the bill aims to reduce energy costs, improve environmental sustainability, and support communities in transitioning to cleaner energy sources.
