Ballot measure to reshape California utility regulator stalls out in state Senate

The proposal would have had significant ramifications for a powerful state regulator.

A ballot measure proposal that would have implemented major reforms at California’s utility regulator is not moving forward.

What happened: State Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D), author of ACA 9, announced Thursday that she decided to hold the bill, which would have reshaped the California Public Utilities Commission.
