What it does
The FRAMER Act would amend the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to require states to reimburse builders of covered dwelling units in opportunity zones for the difference between the cost of complying with the state’s energy housing code and the cost of complying with HUD’s Minimum Energy Standard, provided the state’s code is more expensive than HUD’s standard. Builders must disclose this cost difference and any reimbursement received to the first buyer of the unit. The provision includes a reporting requirement for the Comptroller General and will sunset seven years after enactment. It applies to states and builders operating in federally designated opportunity zones.
