CPUC May Extend LifeLine Foster Youth Pilot

The California Public Utilities Commission would extend a state LifeLine pilot program supporting foster youth until July 31, 2024, under a proposed decision released Friday in docket R.20-02-008. The CPUC may vote on the proposal at its Jan. 12 meeting. The draft would give CPUC Communications Division staff “more flexibility to approve foster youth pilot expenditures” and require more reporting. It wouldn’t increase the pilot’s budget. The CPUC greenlit the pilot in April 2019 (see 1904250028).
