AI Summary
- Requires California Climate Credits for residential electrical customers to be distributed on bills during July, August, and September of each year, rather than at the utility's discretion
- Changes the credit structure from a flat amount per customer to a volumetric basis, meaning credits would be tied to electricity consumption rather than being independent of usage
- Allows the Public Utilities Commission to direct alternative credit timing only to address extreme, unforeseen, and temporary circumstances
- Credits residential, small business, and emissions-intensive trade-exposed customers with revenues from greenhouse gas allowances allocated to electrical corporations under cap-and-trade regulations
- Removes previously proposed provisions that would have authorized recovery bonds to finance utility infrastructure undergrounding costs
