HR 8002 United States House · 118th Congress

Stop the Rate Hikes Act

This bill would limit electric utilities to requesting only one rate increase per year. It directly affects utility companies by restricting how frequently they can adjust customer rates. The key provision amends existing law to require that each utility submit no more than one rate increase request annually. The bill does not change current rate-setting processes but caps the frequency of requests.
