MI HB5090

Increases the minimum percentage of federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant funds that must be used for weatherization assistance to at least 15% of total funds received each fiscal year, removing the previous $5-6 million floor and the 90% funding threshold trigger

Changes the Consumer Price Index reference used to calculate annual adjustments for maximum heating costs and total household resources from the "all urban Detroit" index to the "United States" Consumer Price Index

Removes provisions that previously limited weatherization funding requirements to fiscal years through 2026-2027, making the 15% minimum weatherization allocation permanent for all future fiscal years

Makes technical and stylistic changes throughout the statute, including replacing gendered pronouns ("his or her") with gender-neutral language ("the claimant's") and updating verb constructions ("shall" to "must")
