The Rate Plan Vacatur Interim Protections Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Retail Electric Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 1999 to prohibit electric companies from disconnecting service during a specific period following the vacating of a multi-year rate plan by the Public Service Commission. This "remand interim period" lasts until a new rate plan is approved and instituted, and the prohibition extends for an additional 15 calendar days after this period. The bill specifies that disconnection for non-payment is only permissible if a household has an average outstanding balance exceeding $1,000, with particular calculations for single-family and multifamily residences.

The new section 106b outlines the conditions under which disconnection is restricted, ensuring that vulnerable households are protected during the transition period following a judicial order. This emergency legislation is designed to provide immediate relief to consumers affected by changes in rate plans and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days unless further action is taken by the Council or the Mayor.
