Make DTE Pay Act

This bill would change the Clean Air Act's penalty rules for polluting facilities that do not comply with the law. If the facility is owned or operated by an investor-owned electric or gas utility, the state or the federal Administrator would have to increase the penalty. For each rate increase the utility received in the 2 years before the penalty was first assessed, the penalty would go up by an amount equal to the original penalty. The same increase would apply for each rate increase the utility seeks in the 2 years after the penalty, whether that request is approved or still pending.
