Bill > SB924

This bill would require the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which oversees utility companies like those providing electricity and gas, to direct these companies to prioritize certain factors when performing home weatherization services for low-income customers. These priorities include ensuring household affordability, integrating electrification (switching to electric power for heating, cooking, etc.) and health and safety measures into the services, and coordinating how these services are delivered across different types of fuel and housing conditions, all while allowing utility companies flexibility in how they design their programs. The bill also clarifies that "weatherization" can include a range of measures beyond basic insulation and sealing, such as energy-efficient appliances and educational programs, and defines "low-income customers" as those with household incomes at or below 250% of the federal poverty level.
