Board of Commissioners - Resolution Supporting Michigan Senate Bill 1136 and House Bill 6305 Addressing High Energy Prices Resolution #2022-2204 _ 22-363 MR #22363 Resolution Supporting Michigan Senate Bill 1136 and House Bill 6305 Addressing High Energy Prices Sponsored By: Kristen Nelson WHEREAS on June 30th, 2022, legislation was introduced to prohibit excessive pricing for certain energy products, like gas, during spiking market trends; and WHEREAS Michigan Senate Bill 1136 and House Bill 6305 define gouging as “an unjustified disparity of more than 20%” between an energy product or service being sold and other comparable products and services before, during or after a market disruption; and WHEREAS this legislation would establish new penalties for intentional price gouging - a misdemeanor which could result in jail time and sizeable fines; and WHEREAS these major energy price increases are often speculation and cause consumer anxiety; and WHEREAS the price charged to the consumer has little to do with the actual cost of supply paid by gas station retailers; and WHEREAS these rapid increases in the retail price of gas often unfairly impact those who can least afford it, including seniors, young adults, and low-income populations; and WHEREAS the bills would not apply to utilities or services regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission; and WHEREAS historically, gas retailers (i.e. corner gas station owners) have not appeared to profit from high prices. Instead, high profits have been extracted by refiners and producers farther up the supply chain; and WHEREAS strengthening consequences for energy price gouging will increase consumer protection for Michigan residents; and WHEREAS there is an easily accessible website hosted by the Michigan Agriculture and Rural Development Department, which provides consumer protection resources, including a newly created gasoline information website with a complaint process link; and WHEREAS currently, when gas prices are high and inflation is still rising, oil and gas companies are making record profits as Michiganders struggle to pay for gasoline, food, and other basic necessities; and WHEREAS this legislation aims to protect Michigan consumers and to provide much needed financial relief to Michigan families. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports and calls for the fast-tracked passing of Senate Bill 1136 and House Bill 6305. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs its lobbyist to support all efforts to get SB 1136 and HB 6305 passed into law, and communicate the Oakland County Board of Commissioners' support for this legislation. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Attorney General of the State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader, and the members of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.
