. The commission shall require, as a prerequisite for any
consumer in California to engage in direct transactions permitted in
Section 365, that beginning with the commencement of these direct
transactions, the consumer shall have an obligation to pay the costs
provided in Sections 367, 368, 375, and 376, and subject to the
conditions in Sections 371 to 374, inclusive, directly to the
electrical corporation providing electricity service in the area in
which the consumer is located. This obligation shall be set forth in
the applicable rate schedule, contract, or tariff option under which
the customer is receiving service from the electrical corporation. To
the extent the consumer does not use the electrical corporation's
facilities for direct transaction, the obligation to pay shall be
confirmed in writing, and the customer shall be advised by any
electricity marketer engaged in the transaction of the requirement
that the customer execute a confirmation. The requirement for
marketers to inform customers of the written requirement shall cease
on January 1, 2002.
