This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 40-104, which would allow retail electric customers to opt out of service from their current electric public service corporation if that corporation declares a carbon emissions reduction goal or commits to replacing reliable electricity sources with intermittent sources. The bill mandates that the Arizona Corporation Commission establish rules for customers to petition for this opt-out option and outlines the procedures for evaluating such petitions.

Additionally, the bill requires the commission to set guidelines for alternative electric service providers to ensure that customers who opt out can receive safe, affordable, and reliable service within the original service territory. It also clarifies the definitions of key terms such as "commission," "electric service," "retail electric customer," and "service territory" as they are defined in section 40-201. Overall, the bill introduces new provisions while leaving existing statutes unchanged.
