What AB 781 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to regulate electricity rates in California. It repeals provisions related to fixed charges and rate increases for residential customers, allowing the Public Utilities Commission to set rates without these fixed charges. The bill also allows a deduction for health savings account contributions in computing adjusted gross income. It conforms to federal law for this deduction and for the allowance of rollovers from other health accounts to a health savings account, with penalties for non-compliance.
