AB 2313: Gas corporations: gas distribution service line replacements: alternatives.
What AB 2313 does, verified August 19, 2026
<p>The Home Energy Choice Act proposes requiring gas corporations to offer an alternatives program by January 1, 2028. This program would incentivize customers with monetary rewards to opt for alternative solutions instead of replacing their gas distribution service lines and cease gas service. The Public Utilities Commission would enforce this requirement in new or existing proceedings. Emergency replacements are exempt from these provisions.</p> <p>The bill also mandates that violations of the commission's requirements under this act would be considered a crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.</p>
