In this section: The term home energy service means a service to provide home energy, as such term is defined in section 2603 of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 ( 42 U.S.C. 8622 ), and electric service, as that term is used in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ( 16 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) to a residential customer. The term public water system has the meaning given that term in section 1401 of the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300f ). Any entity receiving financial assistance pursuant to this Act shall establish or maintain in effect policies to ensure that no home energy service or service of a public water system or treatment works to a residential customer, which is provided or regulated by such entity, is or remains disconnected or interrupted during the public health emergency period, as defined in section 3(m) because of nonpayment, and all reconnections of service of a water system or treatment works are conducted in a manner that minimizes risk to the health of individuals receiving such service.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed— to require forgiveness of outstanding debt owed to an entity or to absolve an individual of any obligation to an entity for service described in subsection (b); or to preempt any State or local law (including a regulation) governing entities that provide such service to residential customers.
