Outlines an incentives program under which the Secretary may allocate funds: (1) beginning in FY 1992 to provide supplementary financial assistance to those States with the best low-income weatherization assistance performance; and (2) beginning in FY 1991 among the States in equal portions so that they may make supplementary financial assistance to grant recipients with the best low-income weatherization assistance performance record. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1991 through 1993 for: (1) State energy conservation plans; and (2) energy conservation for schools and hospitals. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1991 through 1994 for the weatherization assistance program.

State Energy Efficiency Programs Improvement Act of 1989 - Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to mandate that each State energy conservation plan which receives Federal assistance under the Act contain specified energy efficiency improvement goals for the year 2000. Adds to Federal assistance eligibility prerequisites for proposed State energy conservation plans, including an emergency planning program for energy supply disruption and programs implementing all the functions currently performed by the Energy Extension Service. Repeals the National Energy Extension Service Act. Cites optional State energy conservation programs. Establishes an Energy Technology and Engineering Services Program designed to assist on a fee basis small and start-up businesses engaged in energy technology. Repeals the mandate for supplemental State energy conservation plans. Sets forth additional allocation guidelines for Federal financial assistance to State energy conservation plans. Includes as an eligibility criterion for such assistance submission of a State supplementary emergency contingency plan to the Secretary of Energy (the Secretary). Directs the Secretary to establish policies and procedures designed to assure that Federal financial assistance for related State energy conservation programs will only be used to supplement, rather than supplant, State and local energy conservation programs. Establishes within the Department of Energy a State Energy Advisory Board to report annually to the Congress regarding recommended energy efficiency objectives, the technology transfer aspect of Federal research and development with respect to energy efficiency and renewable resources, and recommended changes with respect to State and Federal energy policies. Authorizes the use of loan programs and performance contracting for the non-Federal share of energy conservation project costs under the grant program. Amends grant allocation guidelines for schools and hospitals to cite conditions under which a State may expend up to 100 percent of Federal funds for technical assistance. Allows the use of Federal grants for school administration. Defines cooling weatherization materials and directs the Secretary to establish criteria for cooling efficiency modifications that States may use to qualify for Federal financial assistance. Prescribes guidelines to assure that the benefits of Federal weatherization assistance accrue primarily to low-income tenants. Cites conditions under which the Secretary is authorized to approve a State application for a waiver of: (1) the requirement that at least 40 percent of Federal weatherization assistance for low-income persons be used for weatherization materials; and (2) the limitations placed upon expenditures per dwelling unit for weatherization measures. Terminates the Performance Fund used for State weatherization assistance. Authorizes the Secretary to allocate funds from the Low-Income Weatherization Incentive Fund to provide supplementary financial assistance to the States and to State subgrantees which have achieved the best weatherization performance during the previous fiscal year. Directs the Secretary to: (1) make funds available to the States to establish training programs for unemployed persons in low-income weatherization auditing and installation skills; and (2) establish a low-income home weatherization technology applications project and a State energy conservation technology applications project in the Office of Conservation and Renewable Energy. Authorizes appropriations for: (1) the State Plan program; (2) the energy conservation program for schools and hospitals; and (3) the weatherization assistance program. Prescribes guidelines under which the Secretary may provide financial assistance to insular area governments in U.S. territories to implement energy efficiency and renewable energy measures which reduce the area's dependency on imported fuels. Authorizes appropriations.
