An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in general powers and duties of the Department of Public Welfare, providing for Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program; and making an editorial change.

SB 363 creates Pennsylvania's Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program, which will help eligible residents facing water or wastewater service disconnection due to unpaid bills. The program, to be established by the Department of Human Services by July 1, 2026, provides grants to cover overdue water/wastewater bills or restore terminated services for low-income households that own/rent homes, are responsible for utility payments, and meet income guidelines. Water and wastewater providers can apply for grants on behalf of qualifying customers, with funds restricted to preventing disconnection, paying arrears, or restoring service. The program requires annual public reporting to the Governor and legislative committees on program participation and spending.
