State regulators could not approve electric rates for utilities that use certain DEI practices or many ESG factors. Utilities could still follow ESG-related laws, but only as far as those laws require.

Latest action on H.R. 4603: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state-regulated electric utilities and the state commissions that approve their rates. Utilities would need to review DEI programs, employee training, hiring and promotion rules, supplier policies, climate plans, and other ESG-related decisions. Employees and suppliers could feel changes in workplace and contracting programs. Customers could be affected if utilities change how they plan power projects, grid upgrades, emissions work, or other investments that can shape electric bills.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change what utilities may consider when making choices that affect electric bills. Today, some utilities weigh climate goals, diversity programs, supplier diversity, and other ESG goals along with cost and reliability. This bill would limit that when the choices affect rates, unless the factor is tied to cost, reliability, customer service, operations, or a legal duty. It could also shift power toward federal rules by placing new national limits on how states approve utility rates.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
