What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Administration (DOA) administers a

program to provide heating assistance to eligible households. "Heating assistance"

is defined as a benefit given to a household to assist in meeting the cost of home

heating. Current law allows households to apply for heating assistance after

September 30 and before May 16 of any year. This bill allows a household to apply

at anytime during the year if the heating assistance is for propane used for home

heating. Also, the bill requires DOA to ensure that heating assistance for propane

used for home heating is available at times when market conditions reduce propane

prices.
