SUBJECT : Public Utilities Commission: reporting
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This bill repeals and amends several sections of
the Public Utilities Code and the Public Resources Code
which are obsolete.
Assembly Amendments places provisions of SB 1462 (Padilla)
into this bill, since SB 1462 is being used for other
purposes. (1) corrects certain existing references in the
Public Utilities Code by revising "electric corporation" to
"electrical corporation", (2) requires the chair of the
State Energy Resources Conservation and Development
Commission to appear annually before the appropriate policy
committees of the Senate and Assembly to report on the
activities of the commission, (3) revises provisions in
statute to refer to local exchange carrier, instead of
local exchange service providers and local exchange
telephone corporation, (4) removes the repealing of a
provision in law concerning wharfinger to condemn property,
and (5) removes the repealing language requiring the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to evaluate
and implement failure to promote the use of electric power
and natural gas to fuel low-emission fuel vehicles and
report to the Legislature.
ANALYSIS : Existing law requires the Secretary of the
California Environmental Protection Agency to address
various issues concerning the cost-shifting between classes
of utility ratepayers and to provide reports to the
Legislature no later than 1997 and 2001.
This bill repeals this obsolete provision.
Existing law requires the CPUC to monitor and participate
in a 1999 proceeding of the federal Communications
Commission.
This bill repeals this obsolete provision.

FISCAL EFFECT : Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes
Local: No
GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE :
"I am returning Senate Bill 1467 without my
signature.
In addition to making several non-substantive changes
to the Public Utilities Code and the Public Resources
Code, this bill requires the Chairperson of the State
Energy Resources Conservation and Development
Commission (Commission) to appear annually before the
Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and
Communications and the Assembly Committee on
Utilities and Commerce to report on the activities of
the Commission.
This bill is unnecessary. During my Administration,
the Chairperson of the Commission has always been
accessible to the Legislature and, in fact, has
appeared on several occasions this year before both
committees to report on Energy Commission activities.
If the Legislature would like to invite the
Chairperson to appear before their committees, they
simply need to call. In this bill's absence, I am
ordering DGS to check all phone lines between the
Legislature and the Chairperson's office to make sure
they are in good working order."
