Summary
The Make DTE Pay Act amends the Clean Air Act to increase a utility’s penalty by an amount equal to the original fine for each rate increase the utility makes within two years before or after the penalty is assessed. It targets investor‑owned electric and gas utilities that raise rates while being penalized for non‑compliant stationary sources. The goal is to deter utilities from shifting compliance costs onto ratepayers.
