Assemblywoman Laurie Davies Leads Coalition Opposing Gas Appliance Ban

Says costly electrification rules would worsen affordability crisis and strain power grid

SACRAMENTO — A little-known regulatory board that Californians never voted for is pushing a mandate that could phase out gas space and water heaters in millions of homes across southern California. Families would be forced to spend thousands on “zero-emission” electric replacements or be required to pay a fee to continue using natural gas space and water heaters.


Assemblywoman Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel) is leading the charge against the costly “electrification” mandate. This week, she sent a formal letter to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on behalf of multiple legislators urging the board to reject Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121.


“We are facing a housing shortage and affordability crisis,” said Davies. “Now is not the time to mandate new, expensive, and rushed regulations on millions of hardworking California residents.”


Davies’ letter also warns that, in addition to the high cost of new appliances, residents may be forced to pay thousands more in hidden costs, such as electrical upgrades, infrastructure retrofits, and higher monthly utility bills, all for minimal environmental benefits.


These regulators are moving quickly. They will meet on Friday, June 6, at 9:00 AM in Diamond Bar. Join Assemblywoman Davies and others fighting to stop these mandates either in person at 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, or on Zoom.
