Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Energy Assistance Act. Provides that if a recipient of energy assistance ceases to receive winter energy service from an energy provider before the end of the winter for which that energy assistance is provided, the energy provider shall credit the remaining unused balance of that recipient's energy assistance to the Local Administering Agency (LAA). Provides that the LAA shall hold those moneys in escrow until the recipient resumes receipt of winter energy service. Provides that when the recipient resumes receipt of winter energy service, the LAA shall ensure that the escrowed moneys are credited to the recipient's new winter energy service account for the remainder of that winter. Provides that the LAA may transfer the escrowed moneys to a different LAA if the recipient establishes an account for the supply of winter energy service in an area under the jurisdiction of a different LAA, and in that case the new LAA shall pay the moneys to the energy provider supplying winter energy service to the recipient. Provides that if the recipient does not establish another account for the supply of winter energy service during that winter, the original LAA may use the escrowed moneys to make energy assistance grants for the following winter.
