AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 by adding a new standard to the list that states must consider. The new standard says each electric utility may request no more than one retail rate increase per year. Under this law, states would be required to consider adopting this limit on how often utilities can ask for rate increases.
