When Newsom tried similar tactic for sweeping changes to the California Environmental Quality Act, lawmakers balked.
Few people inside or outside the Capitol were paying much attention last year when Assembly Bill 205 popped up on the California Senate floor on June 29.
Trailer bills need just simple majority votes, take effect immediately on being signed by the governor, and are typically taken up in rapid fire order with little or no serious discussion. “If the Public Utilities Commission establishes fixed charges on default residential customer rates, ensure that the fixed charges are established to more fairly distribute the burden of supporting the electric system and achieving California’s climate change goals through the fixed charge.”
Two months ago, Californians finally learned what it meant. The state’s utilities had filed plans to replace the $10 fixed charge with variable fees tied to customers’ incomes, ranging from as low as $15 for households with the lowest incomes to as much as $128 for those in upper-income brackets.
