AB 2508: Public Utilities Public Purpose Programs Fund.

The bill aims to establish a public utilities public purpose programs fund to support various energy-related programs. The fund will be used to allocate moneys for energy efficiency, conservation, and other programs. The fund will be replenished annually through a transfer from the greenhouse gas reduction fund. The bill also repeals existing charges on electrical service to fund these programs, instead providing mechanisms for funding through the new public utilities public purpose programs fund. This change will ensure that these programs continue to operate without relying on outdated charges. The bill also requires the public utilities commission to determine and publish the necessary funding amount for the following fiscal year.
