Bill > SB905

This bill makes minor, nonsubstantive changes to existing law regarding how electrical corporations collect and allocate funds for specific programs. Currently, electrical corporations are required to have a separate charge on customer bills, known as a "nonbypassable element of the local distribution service," to fund programs that improve the electricity grid's reliability and benefit the state. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is responsible for directing these funds towards cost-effective energy efficiency, public interest research and development, and the development of renewable energy resources. This bill clarifies the language around how these funds are allocated and spent, specifically by making nonsubstantive changes to the section that details the PUC's authority to order electrical corporations to collect and spend these funds for specific purposes, including allowing customers to make voluntary contributions to support renewable energy programs.
