BILL ANALYSIS AB 2769 Page 1 Date of Hearing: May 3, 2010 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON UTILITIES AND COMMERCE Steven Bradford, Chair AB 2769 (Committee on Utilities and Commerce) - As Introduced: February 25, 2010 SUBJECT : Public Utilities Commission: President. SUMMARY : Combines two disparate code sections that relate to requirement that the president of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) appear before the Legislature to report on the annual work plan, and the requirement that the CPUC develop the annual work plan. FISCAL EFFECT : Unknown. COMMENTS : This bill is intended to make minor technical changes to coordinate two disparate code sections. Public Utilities Code section 321.6 requires the CPUC to develop a work plan that describes the scheduled ratemaking proceedings and other decisions that may be considered by the CPUC during the calendar year. Public Utilities Code section 1701.6 requires the president of the CPUC to annually appear before the appropriate policy committees of the Senate and Assembly to report on the annual work plan. This bill places the requirement that the president report the work plan to both policy committees of the Legislature, in the same code section as the requirement to perform the annual work plan. All of the provisions in this bill are non-substantive and without opposition. In addition, the relevant regulatory agency has been consulted and has expressed no concern. As the code cleanup bill, the bill does not and will not contain any section to which any party objects.
