AI Summary

This bill amends Section 9 (j) of Chapter 75 of the Acts of 2016 by exempting any monthly minimum reliability contribution for low-income ratepayers and community solar ratepayers. It also allows the department to exempt or modify any monthly minimum reliability contribution for municipal ratepayers.
