AI Summary
This bill expands the scope of the Water Shutoff Protection Act to apply to a "covered water system," which includes community water systems and other specified water systems and suppliers. The bill requires community water systems not previously covered to comply with the Act's provisions starting August 1, 2024. It also sets language requirements for the written policies on discontinuation of residential water service for nonpayment, and authorizes the Attorney General to bring legal action to restore money or property acquired through unlawful practices under the Act. The bill also allows the Public Utilities Commission to bring legal action against covered water systems it regulates for unlawful practices.
