Portal Enhancement: NM2-Cleanup – API Call – remove alt validation logic to support old calls. 

The Disclosure Form API has been updated to deprecate/remove Rebate_Amount key-value pair on DG Disclosure Forms when creating from the API. When net metering originally went live on January 7, 2025, it included new functionality to calculate the amount of Smart Meter rebates based on a new rebate rate field, but initially the method of supplying an explicit Rebate Amount to override the calculation was supported for backward compatibility during rollout. As Rebate Rate is not a required field in DG Disclosure Forms utilizing a rebate, the Rebate Amount key-value pair was no longer needed.
