Fair Allocation of Interstate Rates Act
To prohibit the allocation of costs for a certain transmission facility to consumers of a State the public officials of which did not expressly consent to such transmission facility, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB6336, aims to ensure that costs for certain transmission facilities are not charged to consumers in states where public officials did not give their consent. The bill targets the fair allocation of these costs among states, preventing the burden from falling on consumers in states that were not part of the agreement to build the transmission facility.
HB6336 would affect states and their consumers by preventing them from bearing the financial burden of transmission facilities they did not approve. This means that if a state did not consent to a transmission project, its residents would not have to pay for the facility's costs. This could lead to more equitable energy costs across states and protect consumers from unexpected expenses.
The bill was introduced on December 1, 2025, and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. This means it is currently in the initial stages of the legislative process, where it will be examined in detail and possibly amended before any further action.
