Energy-Related Programs, Surcharges, and Taxes (Maryland Energy Savings Guarantee Act)
In the House - First Reading House Rules and Executive Nominations
Summary
The Maryland Energy Savings Guarantee Act removes a range of statutes that create environmental surcharges, universal service fees, renewable‑energy mandates, building‑code standards and the public‑service‑company franchise tax. It also bars public‑service companies from tacking any state‑imposed taxes, surcharges, riders or assessments onto retail electricity or gas bills and prevents the Public Service Commission from approving tariffs that recover those costs. The bill further requires the governor to withdraw Maryland from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
