Increases income eligibility limit for reduction or abatement of municipal or county utility authority fees.

This bill raises the income limit for qualifying for utility fee reductions or abatements from $10,000 to $15,000 annually (adjusted yearly for inflation based on NYC/Philadelphia area consumer prices). It directly affects seniors aged 65+ and disabled residents (with a 60% VA disability rating or Social Security disability) who either receive PAAD program assistance or have income below $15,000. The key provision amends existing laws to allow municipal and county utility authorities to offer fee reductions or full abatements to these residents without counting certain federal or state benefits toward the income limit. The change makes it easier for more low-income seniors and disabled residents to qualify for reduced utility costs under current programs.
