Bill Summary
Relative to automatic re-enrollment in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill amends a previous law to require that individuals and households who receive fuel assistance through the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) be automatically re-enrolled for such benefits for the following heating season, as long as they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. The "heating season" is defined as the period between November 1 and April 30, unless otherwise designated by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The purpose of this bill is to simplify the process for eligible individuals and households to continue receiving LIHEAP benefits from one year to the next.
