Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to social services; to amend section 68-1215, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to provide for crisis assistance payments under the low-income home energy assistance program; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require the Department of Health and Human Services to provide crisis assistance payments under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federal program designed to help low-income households with their heating and cooling costs. Specifically, the bill inserts new language that mandates the department to make these crisis payments, with a limit of $800 per program year, but also allows for payments exceeding this amount in cases of extenuating circumstances. The bill also repeals the original section of the law, effectively replacing it with these new provisions for crisis assistance.
