Human services: services or financial assistance; Michigan energy assistance act; modify. Amends sec. 9t of 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.9t).

This bill modifies the Michigan Energy Assistance Act to update how the state manages and distributes funds for low-income energy assistance. It establishes clearer rules for the state treasurer to manage the fund, ensuring that money collected from specific geographic areas is returned to eligible customers in those same areas. The legislation also sets a new annual funding factor cap of $2.00 per customer, which will increase by the Consumer Price Index starting in 2029, while requiring detailed reports on fund distribution and usage. Additionally, the bill mandates that the public service commission annually approve this funding factor and ensures collaboration between state agencies to improve outreach and program effectiveness.
