Illinois HB4769 freezes monthly customer charges for low-income households at a percentage of their income.

Illinois HB4769 amends the Public Utilities Act to freeze monthly customer charges for low-income households. This freeze ensures the charges do not exceed a percentage of the household's income, aligning with the current percentage used for monthly credits under the Energy Assistance Act. This measure aims to provide financial relief to low-income households by capping their fixed utility service costs.
