The California Assembly on Monday passed a ballot measure proposal that would reshape the state’s utility regulator.
What happened: The Assembly passed ACA 9, a proposal to amend the state’s constitution by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner.
Why it matters: The vote was an important milestone for the measure, which languished for more than a year before gaining momentum in the last month.

“Today’s strong vote makes it clear that Californians across the political spectrum are ready to codify affordability into the constitution and to shift oversight and accountability of our utilities,” Boerner said in a statement after the vote.
