Public Utilities
Article 8.5 - Unclaimed Utility Deposits
§ 40-8.5-101. Legislative declaration
In enacting this article, the general assembly finds and declares that there is a need to make distributions of moneys to provide aid and assistance to the indigent, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, who do not otherwise have the financial resources to meet their heating and other energy needs. The general assembly further finds and declares that the low-income energy assistance program of the department of human services is the most appropriate entity to determine those most in need of such aid and assistance. Therefore, this article shall authorize the commission on low-income energy assistance to establish a fund from which to collect and distribute moneys to accomplish the goals set forth in this section. The moneys for such fund shall be based in part on unclaimed utility deposits.
