AI Summary
This bill, effective December 30, 2026, amends existing law to prohibit investor-owned electric utilities from collecting taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by governmental units other than the utility itself, and also prevents them from collecting surcharges related to environmental compliance, demand-side management, or voluntary energy cost assistance, unless these amounts are directly and exclusively tied to providing electric service and have been approved by the commission. Investor-owned electric utilities will have 90 days from the effective date of this section to submit new tariffs that comply with these changes.
