Human services: services or financial assistance; percentage of LiHEAP funds used for weatherization assistance; increase. Amends sec. 527a of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.527a).
HB 5090 amends Michigan's LiHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) funding rules to require a higher percentage of funds to be used for weatherization assistance. Specifically, it increases the mandatory allocation for weatherization services - such as home insulation and heating system upgrades - from existing levels. This change directly affects low-income households receiving weatherization support through state programs. The bill modifies Section 527a of the Income Tax Act (MCL 206.527a) to implement this funding shift. (Note: The bill is currently in committee referral stage and has not yet passed.)
