About this vote
The bill would set a federal standard on recovering the full, incremental costs of electric service upgrades that serve large-load customers, and requires state utility regulators and nonregulated utilities to consider making those customers responsible for such costs. Cloture is a vote to end debate and needs 60 votes for most bills; it failed, so the Senate did not move to take up the bill.
