| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Providing Public Utility Exemptions to Volunteer Fire Companies, EMS, Rescue Squads and Older Adult Centers |
| Currently, Title 66 (Public Utilities) allows volunteer fire companies, nonprofit rescue squads, nonprofit ambulance services and nonprofit older adult centers to be charged a residential rate for electricity. However, these organizations do not receive that same benefit and are not charged a residential rate for all public utilities. This small change can be incredibly helpful to these important organizations. My legislation would broaden the existing statute to allow volunteer fire companies, nonprofit rescue squads, nonprofit ambulance services and nonprofit older adult centers to be charged a residential rate for all public utilities. Instead of paying costly utility bills, these organizations will have the opportunity to use that money to financially support their critical operations. These organizations serve our communities everyday by performing essential duties like caring for our most vulnerable and keeping us safe in times of emergencies. Please join me in supporting these groups by lessening their financial burdens. |
