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 the funding appropriation and specifies the effective date. Additionally, it contains a deletion of proposed language that is not relevant to the new provisions being introduced. The primary purpose of this legislation is to ensure adequate financial resources are available for the Residential Energy Preparation Services program, thereby assisting low-income households in managing their energy needs.
