	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 418, as introduced, Huff. Public Utilities Commission.
   The California Constitution establishes the Public Utilities
Commission, with jurisdiction over public utilities, and provides for
the membership and tenure of the members of the commission. Existing

the office, to take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the
oath requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 302 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to

upon the duties of his  or her  office,  shall 
take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office.
