California utility companies including SDG&E and PG&E are proposing a fundamental change to electricity pricing based on a state equity law.

California's Assembly Bill 5 (AB5), effective January 1, 2020, imposes a 35-submission limit per year for freelance journalists working for a single "putative organization."

### California Climate Credit, Utility Bill Rebates

California residents are receiving a "California Climate Credit" on their utility bills as part of the state's efforts to combat climate change. The credit originates from a program requiring large industrial polluters to purchase carbon permits under the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. While the state frames the credit as an investment in cleaner energy, critics view it as a minor rebate for a much larger regulatory burden.
