Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a tax credit to help low- and moderate-income households reduce the cost of their energy bills, such as electricity and heating. Families who qualify would receive money back on their taxes to offset what they spend on keeping their homes powered and warm, making energy more affordable for struggling households.
