The Rate Plan Vacatur Interim Protections Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Retail Electric Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 1999 by prohibiting electric companies from disconnecting service for non-payment during a specific period. This period, defined as the "remand interim period," occurs after a judicial order vacates a multi-year rate plan approved by the Public Service Commission and lasts until a new rate plan is approved, plus an additional 15 calendar days.

The bill introduces a new section, 106b, which explicitly states that disconnections for non-payment are not allowed during this remand interim period. Additionally, the provisions of this section will expire 90 days after the effective date of the Rate Plan Vacatur Interim Protections Emergency Amendment Act of 2026. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period, and it is set to expire 225 days after its enactment.
