Human services: services or financial assistance; low-income water residential affordability program task force; create. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 14q.

This bill creates a task force to improve Michigan's low-income water affordability program by bringing together representatives from various water providers, community agencies, and advocacy groups. The task force will develop new guidance, create educational materials, and explore ways to expand the program to help more households afford their water and sewer bills. Additionally, the bill outlines how state funds will be distributed to cover the difference between actual utility bills and discounted rates, as well as to assist with necessary plumbing repairs. The legislation will only take effect if three related Senate bills are also passed into law.
