Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend 2012 PA 615, entitled ?An act to provide energy assistance for low-income households; and to prescribe certain powers and duties of certain state departments and agencies,? by amending section 3 (MCL 400.1233).

AI Summary

This bill modifies the Michigan Energy Assistance Program, which provides energy assistance to low-income households. The program, administered by the department (referring to a state department, likely the Department of Health and Human Services based on the context of human services), can use funds from federal energy assistance programs and other appropriated funds. The assistance prioritizes vulnerable populations and aims to help participants become self-sufficient by assisting with bill payments, budgeting, and referrals to weatherization or energy waste reduction programs. The bill also mandates a simplified, single application for all energy assistance programs and requires the department to report annually to the legislature on how program funds are distributed, with a specific change to the reporting deadline for program years beginning October 1, 2025. Participants will also be notified of eligibility for other services like energy waste reduction products and home weatherization assistance.
