Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Good Samaritan Energy Plan Act. Contains only a short title provision.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
30 ILCS 105/5.595 new

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Good Samaritan Energy Plan Act and amends the State Finance Act. Creates the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund as a special fund in the State treasury, to be administered by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Provides for donations to the Fund, and authorizes the Department to insert letters soliciting contributions in utility bills. Provides for the distribution of moneys from the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund to low-income consumers to enable them to pay gas or electric bill arrearages in order to have household gas or electric utility service connected. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's fundraising solicitation letter must be sized so as to fit into the utility's standard bill envelope, and must be of sufficiently light weight so as not to cause any increase in postage cost to the utility. Provides that the Department may use up to 10% of the moneys donated for the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund for the expenses of the Department and the local area agency incurred in administering the Fund. Provides that the Department shall ensure that moneys donated for the Fund are distributed to low-income consumers who reside in the county from which those moneys were received.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that, subject to appropriations made by the General Assembly, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity may spend moneys from the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund for the purpose of providing assistance to alleviate utility bill arrearages.
