Bill Summary

An act to amend Sections 285, 914.7, and 2881 of, and to add Sections 281.1 and 884.2 to, the Public Utilities Code, relating to communications, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to continue imposing a surcharge to fund the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) until December 31, 2032, and requires the PUC to report on the CASF's progress in perpetuity. It also repeals the authority for interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service providers to use certain methodologies to identify their intrastate revenues subject to surcharges, and revises the requirements for the deaf and disabled telecommunications program surcharge. Finally, the bill allows the PUC to require internet service providers to report information on their free, low-cost, or affordable internet service plans.
