Abstract

(HR9777 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-20): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

Utility ratepayer protection bills are a growing legislative response to rising electricity costs driven by grid buildout, data center demand, and generation transitions. Tracking early-stage referrals like HR9777 helps map the field of competing proposals (Ratepayer Protection Act, Ratepayer Justice Fund, Energy Bills Relief Act) even before substantive text or mechanisms are known.
