The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6926 proposes to allocate eight million dollars to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for the Residential Energy Preparation Services program. This funding is sourced from the General Fund and is intended to support the program for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill emphasizes the importance of this program, which is also funded through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program Block Grant.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and introduces a new section to current law regarding the appropriation of funds for this specific program. There are no deletions from existing law noted in the text, indicating that this bill is primarily focused on the new funding provision. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance support for residential energy preparation services, particularly for low-income households.
