Rep. David Rutledge, from the 54th District, offered the following invocation:
“Gracious, loving and merciful Father, we open our hearts to You especially during this special time of year.
We are reminded of the gift of life and faith, as the glories of the heavenly hosts are echoed in our places of worship.
We open ourselves up to Your Spirit and give You thanks.
We are grateful, Lord that Your story has become our story, and we celebrate Your birth.
Continue, we pray, to instill in us a profound sense of Your abiding presence, and help us to take to heart the wonder of Your love, that we may walk in Your ways and delight in Your will.
Help us, Lord, to be the faithful, gracious, loving, giving and forgiving people You would have us be.”

“SEC. 6W. (1) IF THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR RECEIVES APPROVAL FROM THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION TO IMPLEMENT A RESOURCE ADEQUACY TARIFF THAT INCLUDES THE OPTION FOR A STATE TO IMPLEMENT A PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM FOR CAPACITY, THEN THE COMMISSION SHALL EXAMINE WHETHER THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM WOULD BE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE, REASONABLE, AND PRUDENT THAN THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE BEFORE THE COMMISSION MAY ORDER THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN ANY UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY. BEFORE THE COMMISSION ORDERS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM IN 1 OR MORE UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORIES, THE COMMISSION SHALL HOLD A CONTESTED CASE HEARING PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 4 OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT OF 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.271 TO 24.287. ALL INTERESTED PERSONS HAVE STANDING TO INTERVENE AND PARTICIPATE AS PARTIES TO THE CONTESTED CASE. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROCEEDING, THE COMMISSION SHALL MAKE A FINDING FOR EACH UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY UNDER CONSIDERATION, BASED ON CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE, AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM WOULD BE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE, REASONABLE, AND PRUDENT THAN THE USE OF THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE IN MEETING THE PLANNING RESERVE MARGIN REQUIREMENT. THE CONTESTED CASE SHOULD BE SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION BY DECEMBER 1 BEFORE THE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR’S CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE, AND THE COMMISSION’S DECISION SHALL IDENTIFY WHICH UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM.
(2) IF THE COMMISSION DETERMINES THAT THE EVIDENCE IN THE CONTESTED CASE SHOWS THAT THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM IS MORE COST-EFFECTIVE, REASONABLE, AND PRUDENT THAN THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE, THEN NO ELECTRIC PROVIDER OR ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THAT UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY SHALL BE ABLE TO USE THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE.
(3) THE INITIAL DETERMINATION OF THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE SHALL BE CONDUCTED AS A CONTESTED CASE PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 4 OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT OF 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.271 TO 24.287, AFTER PROVIDING INTERESTED PERSONS WITH NOTICE AND A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR A FULL AND COMPLETE HEARING. THE COMMISSION SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE DETERMINED PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR EACH TERRITORY.
(4) IF THE COMMISSION ELECTS TO IMPLEMENT A PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR CAPACITY, THAT RATE SHALL BE DETERMINED IN A MANNER THAT ENSURES RATEPAYER FAIRNESS AND THE ABILITY OF RETAIL OPEN ACCESS CUSTOMERS TO RECEIVE COMPETITIVELY PRICED NONCAPACITY ELECTRIC GENERATION SERVICES FROM AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SUPPLIER. THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR CAPACITY IN A UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY SHALL BE THE SAME FOR CUSTOMERS ON REGULATED SERVICE AND CUSTOMERS ELECTING TO TAKE SERVICE FROM AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SUPPLIER AND SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE ELECTRIC RATES CHARGED TO ALL CUSTOMERS BY THE UTILITY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (8). IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT NONCAPACITY ELECTRIC GENERATION SERVICES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE, IN DETERMINING THE RATE, THE COMMISSION SHALL, FOR EACH GENERATION UNIT INCLUDED IN THE PORTFOLIO OF GENERATION RELIED UPON BY THE UTILITY TO MEET THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, DO BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING:
(A) INCLUDE, FOR THE APPLICABLE TERM OF THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE, THE CAPACITY-RELATED GENERATION COSTS INCLUDED IN THE UTILITY’S BASE RATES, SURCHARGES, AND POWER SUPPLY COST RECOVERY FACTORS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THOSE COSTS RESULT FROM UTILITY OWNERSHIP OF THE GENERATION CAPACITY RESOURCE OR THE PURCHASE OR LEASE OF THE GENERATION CAPACITY RESOURCE FROM A THIRD PARTY.
(B) EXCLUDE ALL NON-CAPACITY-RELATED ELECTRIC GENERATION COSTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PROJECTED REVENUES, NET OF PROJECTED FUEL COSTS, FROM ALL ENERGY MARKET SALES, OFF-SYSTEM ENERGY SALES, ANCILLARY SERVICES SALES, AND ENERGY SALES UNDER UNIT-SPECIFIC BILATERAL CONTRACTS, FOR THE APPLICABLE TERM OF THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION PROGRAM, AND COSTS RECOVERED THROUGH NET STRANDED COSTS AND SECURITIZATION.
(5) THE COMMISSION SHALL PROVIDE FOR A TRUE-UP MECHANISM THAT RESULTS IN UTILITY COLLECTION FROM OR CREDIT TO CUSTOMERS FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PROJECTED COSTS AND REVENUES DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (4) AND THE ACTUAL COSTS AND REVENUES FOR THE PORTFOLIO OF ELECTRIC RESOURCES RELIED UPON BY THE UTILITY TO MEET THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.
(6) IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SUBSECTION (4) ARE MET, AND TO FURTHER ENSURE THAT THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE IS REASONABLE AND COMPETITIVELY NEUTRAL TO ALL ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SERVICE SUPPLIERS IN THE STATE, THE COMMISSION SHALL UTILIZE AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY AUDITOR TO EVALUATE ALL PROPOSED COSTS AND REVENUES TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE. THE INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY AUDITOR SHALL ENSURE THAT ANY COSTS AND REVENUES TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ARE ACCURATE, REASONABLE, AND COMPETITIVELY NEUTRAL AS PROVIDED FOR WITHIN THE WHOLESALE MARKET OF THE APPLICABLE REGIONAL TRANSMISSION OPERATOR’S MARKET.
(7) THE COMMISSION SHALL REVIEW, AMEND, OR ELIMINATE THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE PERIODICALLY EITHER IN ALL SUBSEQUENT GENERATION RATE CASES OR SEPARATE PROCEEDINGS ESTABLISHED FOR THAT PURPOSE, WHICH SHALL OCCUR NO LESS THAN EVERY 3 YEARS.
(8) ANY ELECTRIC PROVIDER SUBJECT TO THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE IS EXEMPT FROM THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR THAT PORTION OF ITS CAPACITY OBLIGATION FOR EACH PLANNING YEAR FOR WHICH IT CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT THE ELECTRIC PROVIDER CAN MEET ITS CAPACITY OBLIGATION REQUIREMENTS THROUGH OWNED OR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS TO ANY RESOURCE THAT THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR ALLOWS TO QUALIFY FOR MEETING THE LOCAL CLEARING REQUIREMENT BEFORE THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE FOR THAT PLANNING YEAR TAKES PLACE. THE ELECTRIC PROVIDER REMAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CAPACITY OBLIGATIONS FOR WHICH IT HAS BEEN EXEMPTED FROM THE PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE.
(9) IF THE COMMISSION ELECTS TO IMPLEMENT A PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR CAPACITY, THE UTILITY IS THEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAPACITY OBLIGATION OF ALL CUSTOMERS TAKING SERVICE FROM AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SUPPLIER IN THE UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY DURING THE PERIOD THAT ANY SUCH PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE FOR CAPACITY IS EFFECTIVE THAT IS NOT EXEMPT UNDER SUBSECTION (8).
(10) IF THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR DOES NOT DEVELOP A CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE BY APRIL 30, 2018, OR NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY IS BID INTO THE CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE TO MEET THE CAPACITY OBLIGATION REQUIREMENTS DETERMINED BY THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR, THEN THE COMMISSION HAS THE AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RESOURCE ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS ON ELECTRIC PROVIDERS IN THIS STATE AFTER A CONTESTED CASE IS CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 4 OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT OF 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.271 TO 24.287. ALL REQUIREMENTS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSION UNDER THIS SUBSECTION SHALL MEET THE FOLLOWING:
(A) THE COSTS CAUSED BY THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ALLOCATED BASED UPON THE BENEFITS RECEIVED BY THE CUSTOMERS.
(B) THE REQUIREMENTS ALLOW LOAD-SWITCHING BETWEEN ELECTRIC PROVIDERS AND ELECTRIC UTILITIES IN A NONDISCRIMINATORY MANNER.
(C) THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE, REASONABLE, AND PRUDENT TO PREVENT THE DEGRADATION OF RELIABILITY BELOW THE STANDARD SET BY THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR.
(D) THE REQUIREMENTS PRESERVE THE ABILITY OF CUSTOMERS TO ACCESS THE RETAIL OPEN ACCESS MARKET.
(E) THE REQUIREMENTS PROVIDE FAIR ACCESS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS THAT CAN REASONABLY PROVIDE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
(F) THE REQUIREMENTS DO NOT EXPOSE INFORMATION CONSIDERED TO BE CONFIDENTIAL BY ELECTRIC PROVIDERS OR CUSTOMERS TO POTENTIAL COMPETITORS WHILE PROVIDING A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCOVERY OF RELEVANT INFORMATION BY INTERESTED PERSONS.
(G) THE REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE DUE PROCESS THAT ENABLES ELECTRIC PROVIDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS TO CHALLENGE THE REQUIREMENTS.
(11) IF A CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE IS DEVELOPED AFTER APRIL 30, 2018, ALL REQUIREMENTS IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF SUBSECTION (10) NO LONGER APPLY.
(12) AS USED IN THIS SECTION:
(A) “CAPACITY AUCTION FOR THIS STATE” MEANS A RESOURCE ADEQUACY CONSTRUCT AND THE ASSOCIATED TARIFFS DEVELOPED BY THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR TO RUN A 3-YEAR AUCTION FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THIS STATE.
(B) “ELECTRIC PROVIDER” MEANS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
(i) A MUNICIPALLY OWNED ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THIS STATE.
(ii) A COOPERATIVE ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THIS STATE.
(iii) AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SUPPLIER LICENSED UNDER SECTION 10A.
(C) “PLANNING RESERVE MARGIN REQUIREMENT” MEANS THE AMOUNT OF CAPACITY EQUAL TO THE FORECASTED COINCIDENT PEAK DEMAND THAT OCCURS WHEN THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR FOOTPRINT PEAK DEMAND OCCURS PLUS A RESERVE MARGIN THAT MEETS AN ACCEPTABLE LOSS OF LOAD EXPECTATION AS SET BY THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR.
(D) “PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM” MEANS AN OPTION FOR A STATE TO ELECT A PREVAILING COMPENSATION RATE FOR CAPACITY CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPROPRIATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR’S RESOURCE ADEQUACY TARIFF.
(E) “PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION RATE” MEANS A RATE ESTABLISHED UNDER A PREVAILING STATE COMPENSATION MECHANISM AND CALCULATED CONSISTENT WITH SUBSECTION (4).”.

Rep. Howrylak, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of a bill whose language was provided to me only a couple of hours prior to the vote. That would be legislative malpractice. While I believe there are many good elements in this bill, time is not on the side of a yes vote. Ideally the legislative session would be extended for another week to allow for members to fully vet and discern this bill. That is not the case and therefore I vote no.”
Rep. Barrett, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I appreciate the work and effort that was put into this legislation and the improvements that were included. However, I am not satisfied that private investment in net metering would be protected. My concern is that the existing bill language could pass on unfair and unrealistic fees to individuals who net meter. I introduced a simple amendment to correct this discrepancy and it was rejected.”
Rep. Price, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
We began session on Wednesday, December 14 at 10:00 a.m. and voted on several dozen bills remaining in session until 5:30 a.m. The last hour of the our Friday morning session, we began discussing House Bills 437 and 438. These two bills are 234 pages. At 5:30 a.m., the House went at ease so that we could get some sleep and possibly the two bills.
House Bills 437 and 438 are very complicated. They do several good things :eliminating self-implementation of rate increases by the utilities, preserving choice, adding transparency to the list of folks waiting to be on choice, and implementing a IRP process.
I voted against them for several reasons:
1) The process. Bills came out of the Senate, did not receive a hearing in the House, and we were given very little time to read, digest, or discuss the bills. A poor process with very complicated legislation.
2) While the bills did have some good provisions, I believe they included several rate increases and lowering of standards by which the Public Service Commission will rule.
We were able to have access to them around 6:00 am, from our onThe bills were passed out of the Senate yesterday and totaled after receiving copies of the bills believe that Michigan citizens deserve reliable, affordable energy.
I believe that our incumbent utilities need to provide reliable energy to our residents at a reasonable rate of return.

“An act to revise, consolidate, codify, and add to the statutes relating to crimes; to define crimes and prescribe the penalties and remedies; to provide for restitution under certain circumstances; to provide for the competency of evidence at the trial of persons accused of crime; to provide immunity from prosecution for certain witnesses appearing at criminal trials; to provide for liability for damages; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act,”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Nesbitt, Pscholka and Poleski offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 410.
A resolution to urge the Michigan Public Service Commission to reject the premature termination of the power purchase agreement between Entergy and Consumers Energy for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant.
Whereas, The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant produces over 800 megawatts of virtually emission free energy and is licensed to operate into the 2030s with a power purchase agreement in place through 2022; and
Whereas, Entergy announced on December 8, 2016, that it agreed to the early termination of its power purchase agreement with Consumers Energy for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant; and
Whereas, If the Michigan Public Service Commission approves the termination of the power purchase agreement, and federal regulators do not intervene, Entergy intends to close the plant early, in October 2018, leading to the loss of nearly 600 Michigan jobs; and
Whereas, The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is a significant source of energy within our state and is important to continued electric reliability across Michigan. Michigan Public Service Commission Chairwoman Sally Talberg has testified in both houses of the Legislature that Michigan faces serious electric reliability issues in the near term, even with the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant online through 2022; and
Whereas, The Michigan Public Service Commission has an obligation to protect electric reliability in the state and it is clear the premature termination of this power purchase agreement would be detrimental to electric reliability in this state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan Public Service Commission to reject the premature termination of the power purchase agreement between Entergy and Consumers Energy for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan, the commissioners of the Michigan Public Service Commission, the executive director of the Michigan Agency for Energy, and the chief executive officers of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Entergy Corporation, and Consumers Energy.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
