Introduced
by
To require all electric and natural gas utility service customers to pay into a state fund to subsidize the utility bills of low income households. The levy on customers of a particular utility would be determined by the Public Service Commission, and could not exceed 2 percent of the commercial and industrial revenues of each utility. The bill would mean that customers of all utilities would have to pay into the fund, not just those of DTE and Consumers Energy. Under current law, in return for receiving payments from non-customers for their "stranded costs" and "transition costs," these two companies agreed to pay into this fund.
Referred to the Committee on Technology and Energy
