The purpose of this hearing is to investigate the dramatic increase in the price of gasoline, home heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, and to explore effective short-term and long-term solutions to alleviate this crisis. The hearing will also examine several related issues, including the extent to which gouging has impacted gasoline prices, the need for an increase in Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) funds for low-income and senior citizens, the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the availability of both transportation fuels and heating fuels, the fiscal impact that escalating fuel prices have on the state, county and local governments, including school districts, businesses and not-for-profits, and the effect of federal, state and local taxes on the price of fuels of all types. Oral testimony will be by invitation only and limited to ten minute durations. Ten copies of any prepared testimony should be submitted at the hearing registration desk. The Committee would appreciate advance receipt of prepared statements. Written testimony will also be accepted and may be sent to the contact person listed on the reply form. In order to publicize the hearing further, please inform interested parties of the Committees’ interest in receiving written testimony from all sources.
