AB 1139 passed out of the utility hearing yesterday and there's little reason to believe it will not pass thru the full house and senate this year. I suspect this will come as a surprise to the liberal / woke individuals who have invested in solar.

It will (if passed as is):
Text excerpts from AB 1139:
(b) The commission shall require all electrical corporations to submit by advice letter a standard net energy metering contract or tariff that shall take effect beginning on July 1, 2022, and apply to all customer self-generators. The standard contract or tariff shall replace all prior standard contracts and tariffs and shall provide for all of the following:
(1) The customer self-generator shall be credited for any electricity exported by the customer self-generator to the distribution system or transmission system, as applicable, at a rate equal to the hourly wholesale market rate applicable at the time of the export and the location of the customer self-generator. These credits shall be applied to the customer self-generator’s other bill obligations.
(2) The customer self-generator shall be charged for electricity imported by the customer self-generator from the distribution system or transmission system, as applicable, at a rate equal to the otherwise applicable tariff for customers in the same class of service who are not customer self-generators.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), for customer self-generators taking energy supply service from a community choice aggregator, the aggregator may determine to provide credits and charges in different amounts.
(4) Notwithstanding the limitations of subdivision (f) of Section 739.9, the customer self-generator shall be charged a monthly grid access charge equal to the costs attributable to the customer’s gross electricity usage billed at the otherwise applicable rates for all elements of retail service except for generation, including all nonbypassable charges, such as those authorized by Sections 366.1, 366.2, and 380, minus the amount the customer paid for nongeneration elements of retail service paid as part of the rate for imported electricity.
(5) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) through (4), inclusive, any customer self-generator that previously began service under a net energy metering contract or tariff prior to January 1, 2022, may continue to take service under that contract or tariff as follows
(A) If the original net energy metering interconnection was prior to January 1, 2014, a customer self-generator may continue to take service under that contract or tariff until July 1, 2022.
(B) If the original net energy metering interconnection was after January 1, 2014, and prior to January 1, 2017, a customer self-generator may continue to take service under that contract or tariff until July 1, 2023.
(C) If the original net energy metering interconnection was after January 1, 2017, and prior to January 1, 2022, a customer self-generator may continue to take service under that contract or tariff until July 1, 2024.
