| 3 | | must be taken to save as much taxpayer money
as possible; and
|
| 4 | | WHEREAS, A common complaint voiced by taxpayers around the |

being wasted |
| 6 | | when lights are left on all night in State buildings; and
|
| 7 | | WHEREAS, Utilities make up a substantial portion of State |
| 8 | | agency budgets, and by leaving non-essential
lights on at |

| 10 | | avoided; and
|
| 11 | | WHEREAS, Any and all viable methods to reduce other utility |
| 12 | | expenses within State buildings should be
explored; therefore, |
| 13 | | be it

| 17 | | to direct all state agencies to
explore ways to reduce energy |
| 18 | | consumption in State facilities, and to adopt a policy and |
| 19 | | procedure for
turning off all non-essential lights at the end |
| 20 | | of the day; and be it further
