Energy bill help for low-income households

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state provides $11.5 million in federal funds for Low‑Income Energy Assistance. Eligible low‑income households get help paying home energy bills. The funding also supports 4.5 staff to run the program. This money supports assistance; it is not a new tax or fee.

Health and dental funding for state workers
