AB 1404: Electrical corporations: connections: affordable housing projects.
What AB 1404 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to require electrical corporations to connect affordable housing projects to the electrical distribution grid within 60 days. If the project is ready to connect but has not been connected within the 60-day timeframe, the Public Utilities Commission will streamline the review process. The bill also delays the effective date of a rate increase approved by the commission if the electrical corporation took more than 90 days to provide a final contract or more than 60 days to connect the most recently completed affordable housing project. This provision aims to prevent electrical corporations from delaying the connection of affordable housing projects, which is a crime under existing law.
