Energy: other; utility filing a rate case earlier than 3 years after the utility’s last rate case: prohibit. Amends sec. 6a of 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.6a).

Summary

The bill adds a rule that gas, electric, and steam utilities cannot start a new general rate case until at least three years have passed since their last complete filing, and only after the commission has issued a final order on the prior case. It affects all regulated utilities by spacing out rate‑increase requests, giving customers more stability and giving the commission time to review each case fully.
