Section 1. The legislature declares as public policy that
subjECting Minn�sota residents over the age of 65 and subsisting
on a federal adjusted gross incame of less than $8,OOQ to utility
rate and fuel price increases is unfair.

fed�ral adjuste� gross income, as defined by state la�v, of less
than $8,000, shall be entitled to a money subsidy payabZe by the
state in reimbursement for additional costs to him for utility
serJices and fuel supplies above those in effect and paid by him
on J�nuary l, 1974, in the governri.ental subdivision wherein he
resides. The subsidy shall only be payab3e based on the same level
of consumption of utility services and fuel supplies by the app�icant
during the calendar year 1973. Tlxe money subsidy shall be payable
to a Minnesota resident only as attributable to his additional cost
for. utiiity services and fuel supplies as furnished to his �rimary,
usu�l and personal place of a�od�. If a person entitl�d to a subsidy
hereunder resides in a multi-family dwelling, he shall be entitled,
as ail or par� of such subsidy, to only that partion of such additional
cos� attributab?e to his own place of abode in relation to t�e total

oi this act� Further, the regulations, among other things, sha21
set forth reasonable standards of verification of utility and
