The proposal would require states to consider rules that prevent electric utility companies from requesting rate increases more than once per year, giving consumers more predictability about their electricity bills. This would affect both utility companies and the households and businesses that depend on them for power. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
