Bill Summary
A resolution to urge the federal government to ensure continued funding, and reinstate staff, of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) as they negotiate the ?One Big Beautiful Bill Act? so that Michigan can continue its Home Heating Credit Program.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the federal government to maintain funding and reinstate staff for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federally funded program designed to help families manage home energy costs. The resolution highlights that in May 2025, President Trump recommended eliminating LIHEAP funding and fired the entire staff responsible for administering the program, which would significantly impact Michigan's Home Heating Credit Program. In 2022, 248,765 Michigan taxpayers, including low-income residents, deaf and disabled individuals, disabled veterans, and senior citizens, benefited from this program. The resolution points out that without federal LIHEAP funding, the Home Heating Credit Program would be unable to continue, potentially denying critical assistance to vulnerable populations. The resolution calls on the federal government to ensure LIHEAP funding continues as they negotiate the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal government officials, including the President, congressional leaders, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
