The bill would establish a Treasury Ratepayer Justice Fund, financed by assessments on utilities, C-suite executives, and lobbyists found liable for covered misconduct, to provide relief to eligible ratepayers and grants to affected communities. Eligible ratepayers could receive one direct payment per misconduct event, reduced by prior recovery and claimable within four years after a final liability determination. The bill would also authorize enforcement actions, require public reporting and a searchable database, and require an Energy Department assessment of certain nuclear power plants.
