Schur's frozen body was found Jan. 17, four days after Bay City Electric Light & Power installed a device on his electric meter that cuts power after a predetermined level is reached.
State regulators on Wednesday issued emergency rules designed to protect more people against electricity or heat shutoffs in the winter.
