CA AB737

Expands the definition of "energy supplier" to include gas corporations, making them subject to decarbonization charge notice and recordation requirements previously applicable only to electric utilities

Requires energy suppliers administering decarbonization upgrade programs to record a notice of decarbonization charge with the county recorder within 30 days of funding an upgrade

For gas corporations, limits "decarbonization charge" to charges for measures that provide measurable reductions in natural gas consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions

Mandates energy suppliers record a notice of full cost recovery and removal of the decarbonization charge within 30 days of completing cost recovery or ceasing collection

Approved by Governor on October 3, 2025, with no state reimbursement required to local agencies because changes relate to new crime/infraction definitions under existing Public Utilities Commission enforcement
