California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 25, 2026

What AB 1945 does, verified August 25, 2026

<p>The bill amends provisions related to municipal utility districts by allowing these districts to offer electronic notices for delinquent accounts and permitting districts serving fewer than 100,000 customers to provide a prepaid billing option for electricity. The prepaid option requires providing information on reverting to standard billing and issuing low-balance alerts before service suspension. Additionally, the bill exempts prepaid program participants from receiving termination notice requirements.</p>
