What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to fund

statewide energy efficiency and renewable resources programs, known as Focus on

Energy, and related programs. The bill requires Focus on Energy to include

programs that promote energy efficiency and renewable energy measures for

low-income households and that address the energy needs and decrease the energy

burden of low-income households. The bill requires these programs to be

coordinated with the weatherization assistance program administered by the

Department of Administration. The bill requires the Public Service Commission to

ensure that that not less than 25 percent of the moneys utilities are required to spend

to fund Focus on Energy is spent annually on these programs for low-income

households.
