Bill > H0224

I apologize, but the provided XML bill text appears to be incomplete or redacted, showing only a minimal structure without substantive language. While the government summary suggests the bill relates to establishing a thermal benefits charge on heating fuel to fund thermal energy efficiency measures, I cannot verify the specific provisions from the XML text itself. Based solely on the government summary, I would draft a summary as follows: This bill proposes to implement a thermal benefits charge, which would be a fee applied to heating fuel sales. The charge would be used to fund thermal energy efficiency measures, with a cap placed on the total amount that can be charged. The Public Utility Commission has recommended this approach as a way to support energy conservation efforts. By creating a dedicated funding mechanism for thermal efficiency, the bill aims to encourage more sustainable heating practices and potentially reduce overall energy consumption in the state. Note: A full, detailed summary would require the complete text of the bill, which is not present in the provided XML.
