Public utilities; water and sewerage companies, discounted rates for low-income customers.

Updated the document title from 'House Substitute' to 'Enrolled' and added the official act number and approval status.

Adjusted formatting in section headers and legal citations to use standard spacing between numbers and letters.

Eligibility for discounted water and sewer rates was simplified by removing the option to use 80% of the area median income, setting the limit strictly at 200% of the federal poverty level.

The agency determining poverty levels changed from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Department of Social Services.

The previous provision allowing a choice between 80% of the area median income or 200% of the federal poverty level was removed.

Utilities are now explicitly permitted to use a tiered discount system for low-income customers.

The method for recovering discount costs was clarified to allow utilities to include these costs in their base and general rates rather than just general rates.
