🏊 Cool off with water play or spend time in air-conditioned places like libraries, malls, or movie theaters.
👶 Never leave a baby or child alone in a car. Vehicles can reach deadly temperatures in just minutes, even with the windows cracked.

Don’t take chances with the heat.

California Senate Bill 868 (SB 868), known as the

California Senate Bill 868 (SB 868), known as the Plug and Play Solar Act or Plug-In Solar Act, is proposed legislation introduced by Senator Scott Wiener. It aims to make small “balcony solar” or portable solar generation systems legal and easy to use without complex utility approval.

This bill would allow renters, condo owners, and apartment dwellers to generate their own clean energy. It would give households an affordable way to offset up to a fifth of their daily electricity usage by plugging small panels into a sunny patio or balcony and would help communities scale up distributed renewable energy and lower carbon emissions quickly and cheaply.

California Senate Bill 222 (Authored by Senator Scott Wiener), known as the Heat Pump Access Act, aims to accelerate residential building electrification and cut greenhouse gas emissions by streamlining and standardizing local permitting and inspection rules for residential heat pump water heaters and HVAC systems.

Inconsistent local permitting slows down climate goals, drives up costs, and prevents households from quickly adopting clean indoor air technology that protects against extreme heat and fossil-fuel pollution.
