A bill for an act establishing the percentage of income payment plan program to be administered by the department of health and human services.

Summary

The bill directs the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to set up a percentage‑of‑income payment plan for residents who qualify for low‑income home energy assistance. Participants stop receiving LIHEAP benefits and instead pay a set portion of their monthly gross income toward electric and gas bills, while utilities pause collection and interest. The program aims to help low‑income households clear utility debt in a manageable way.
