CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1474

Introduced by Senator Allen

February 16, 2024

An act to amend Section 780.5 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to energy.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1474, as introduced, Allen. Energy: residential metering.

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to require each residential unit in an apartment house or similar multiunit residential structure, condominium, and mobilehome park for which a building permit has been obtained on or after July 1, 1982, with specific exceptions, to be individually metered for electrical and gas service.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that requirement.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 780.5 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

The commission shall require ~~every~~ each residential unit in an apartment house or similar multiunit residential structure, condominium, and mobilehome park for which a building permit has been obtained on or after July 1, 1982, other than a dormitory or other housing accommodation provided by ~~any~~ a postsecondary educational institution for its students or employees and other than farmworker housing, to be individually metered for electrical and gas service, except that separate metering for gas service is not required for residential units ~~which~~ that are not equipped with gas appliances requiring ~~venting or~~ venting, are equipped only with ~~only~~ vented decorative ~~appliances~~ appliances, or ~~which~~ receive the majority of energy used for water or space heating from a solar energy system or through cogeneration technology.
