64 / 90 · methodology full_text_v3

The Ratepayer Protection Act aims to amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to ensure that large-load customers cover the full costs of necessary utility upgrades. It mandates financial assurances from these customers and sets a federal standard for state consideration. The bill is clear in its scope and purpose but lacks detailed enforcement mechanisms and fiscal analysis.

How the methodology works →

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
