AB 2874, as introduced, Beth Gaines. Gas corporations: natural gas production and storage.
Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to investigate, as part of the rate proceeding for any gas corporation, impediments to the production and storage of natural gas within the state. Existing law authorizes the commission to adopt a tariff that encourages the production or storage of natural gas within the state, including, but not limited to, reducing local transmission rates applicable to in-state gas blends, unless the commission finds that adopting the tariff is likely to result in consequences adverse to the interests of gas customers.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
