 2 28 to read as follows:

 4 department is authorized to develop, implement, administer and operate a
 5 plan, and hold funds available for such plan, to make available one-time
 6 supplementing grants for the purpose of assisting eligible households to
 7 obtain home heating fuel.

 9 mean fuel oil, coal, wood, propane, natural gas, electricity, steam,
 10 kerosene and any other fuel when used for residential heating purposes.
