The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6926 proposes to allocate eight million dollars from the General Fund to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for the Residential Energy Preparation Services program for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This funding will be sourced from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program Block Grant. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to enhance support for residential energy preparation services.
The bill includes new legal language that establishes this funding provision, while there are no deletions from current law specified in the text. The primary purpose of the bill is to ensure financial resources are available to assist low-income households in preparing for energy needs, thereby promoting energy efficiency and sustainability within the community.
