Summary
The Low-Income Energy Assistance Reinvestment Act (S. 922) would redirect a portion of the revenue the federal government earns from oil and gas drilling on public lands to help low-income families pay their utility bills. Specifically, the bill would allocate 5% of the money received from onshore federal energy development to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). For eligible citizens, this would provide additional funding for a program that assists with heating and cooling costs, energy crisis intervention, and weather-related home repairs.
