California has enacted AB 2313, creating a voluntary pathway for eligible households to electrify when a gas service line is due for replacement rather than automatically paying for new gas infrastructure.
Gov. Gavin Newsom approved the bill Sept. 30, making it Chapter 934 of the 2026 statutes. The legislative record tracks the bill’s text and status, while Assemblymember Marc Berman’s introduction of the measure described gas-service replacement as the trigger for offering an electrification alternative.
Induction Is One Piece of a Broader Conversion
The policy is broader than cooking appliances. Electrifying a home can involve space heating, water heating and cooking, with an induction or other electric range replacing a gas stove where the household chooses that route.
The Law Does Not Ban Gas Stoves
AB 2313 establishes a voluntary program rather than a statewide ban on gas cooking. That distinction matters for appliance retailers and consumers: the law can create additional replacement opportunities for electric and induction products without requiring every California household to remove an existing gas range.
Actual appliance demand will depend on program implementation, household eligibility, electrical capacity and the economics of each conversion.
