Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

The bill would force electric utilities to publicly share the data they use to set customer rates, letting consumer groups see and challenge the numbers.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

If passed, everyday Californians could better understand why their electricity bills change, and could push back if utilities hide cost details, but utilities may face higher reporting burdens.
