Evidence

Section 201 of the bill amends LIHEAP funding and adds a requirement that a home energy supplier 'will not shut off home energy' for assisted households for two years.

Casten took concrete legislative action to advance shutoff protection by introducing bill text that would expand low-income energy assistance and bar shutoffs for recipients. This is serious effort, but it is still only introduced legislation, not enacted relief.

The press release says the bill would 'provide financial assistance to American families to make sure their power isn't shut off.'

Casten publicly announced a consumer-energy bill centered on lowering bills and preventing shutoffs, matching the promise direction but stopping short of delivery. No later June 15-17 follow-up surfaced in official sources.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Casten publicly introduced and promoted legislation that would provide energy assistance and prevent shutoffs, which materially advanced the promised policy. But the evidence shows only proposed bill text and press outreach, not enacted relief or an implemented program, so the promise was not fully delivered.
