| This is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208. This bill |
| proposes to study how the Legislature could establish an energy |
| policy in the State that would protect consumers from the |
| increasing costs of heating fuel. The Legislature shall work |
| with the Finance Authority of Maine to develop a program that |
| would offer low-interest loans or no-interest loans to fuel |
| companies so that fuel companies could pass any savings on to |
| the consumers. |
