CA AB2313

Requires the Public Utilities Commission to establish a Gas Distribution Service Line Replacement Alternatives Program by January 1, 2028, offering monetary incentives to gas customers whose service lines are scheduled for replacement within the next 5 years

Eligible customers can receive incentives to replace gas appliances with electric alternatives and cease gas service, avoiding the need for gas line replacement

Incentive amounts are capped at the average lifetime cost of an avoided gas distribution service line replacement, with cost-recovery for redirected funds limited to 10 years

Mandates additional outreach in disadvantaged communities and coordination with low-income energy efficiency programs to maximize available incentives for vulnerable customers

Requires participating customers to close their gas account and request meter removal, with the program to include a preapproved contractor list, eligibility website, and coordination with electric utilities and local governments
