Make DTE Pay Act

Introduced·5/7/26

Enhances Clean Air Act penalties for investor-owned electric or gas utilities that increase rates within two years before or after penalty assessment.

The Make DTE Pay Act amends the Clean Air Act to increase penalties for investor-owned electric or gas utilities that raise rates within two years before or after a penalty assessment. The enhanced penalty equals the original assessment amount for each rate increase during this period. This change aims to deter utilities from increasing rates around the time of penalty assessments.
