2024 TURN Affordability Package

We Won!

September 26, 2024

Big Victory for Affordable Utility Bills! 

Thanks to your efforts, Governor Newsom has officially signed TURN’s Affordability Bill Package into law! This monumental win includes two key bills that will bring greater fairness and transparency to utility billing for all Californians:

  • AB 2847: Ensures that utilities are transparent about the true costs of their projects, providing clarity on how your money is being spent.

  • SB 1142: Protects vulnerable customers by capping disconnection fees and offering a reasonable 24-month payment plan option.

Additionally, the Governor vetoed AB 3263, a bill that would have would have burdened ratepayers with future bill increases in exchange for a short-term reduction.

This success wouldn’t have been possible without your support and advocacy. Together, we’re making real strides toward fair and affordable utility bills for everyone.

TURN is people-powered, and our successes are because you take action. We hope you’ll stay engaged by following us on Facebook and Instagram, where we’ll keep you updated on future advocacy efforts.

Let’s keep the success rolling.
Your support makes all the difference.
