UTILITIES: Creates the Utility Assistance Coordination Task Force to study and make recommendations regarding coordination of utility assistance programs in the state.

This bill creates the Utility Assistance Coordination Task Force in Louisiana to study how different utility aid programs work together. The task force will include representatives from government agencies, utility companies, and community organizations to review available help for households struggling with energy bills. Its goal is to identify ways to reduce confusion, eliminate duplicate efforts, and ensure vulnerable residents can more easily access the assistance they need. The group will submit its findings and recommendations by March 1, 2027, without making any immediate policy changes itself.
