Requires the Federal official who runs the Low‑Income Home Energy Assistance program to hire and maintain a minimum number of staff to operate the program: at least 20 full-time staff in normal times and at least 30 during certain declared emergencies. The law also restricts how many of those positions can be filled by contractors except when a specified emergency allows more contractor hires, and it requires emergency hiring to begin within 45 days of the emergency determination and continue for at least 180 days.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
