description: "(1) Existing law, until January 1, 2026, establishes the California Arrearage Payment Program (CAPP) within the Department of Community Services and Development. Existing law requires the department to survey utility applicants to obtain data pertaining to the total number of residential and commercial customer accounts in arrears to determine the total statewide energy utility arrearage and to develop an allocation formula for determining an individual utility applicant's share of CAPP funds. Existing law authorizes specified utilities to apply for CAPP funds on behalf of their customers, and requires the utility to use any funds received to offset customer arrearages that were incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic bill relief period, as specified. Existing law prohibits service from being discontinued due to nonpayment for those customers included in a utility's CAPP application while the department reviews and approves all pending CAPP applications, and requires the utility applicant to waive any associated late fees and accrued interest for customers who are awarded CAPP benefits. Existing law requires the department to report specified data to the Legislature and on its public-facing internet website relating to distribution of CAPP benefits."
