                                     DESCRIPTION
           
          This bill repeals or modifies several sections of the Public  
          Utilities Code which were added in 1996 as part of the  
          deregulation of electricity in AB 1890 (Peace).  

                                       COMMENTS
           
              1.   Author's Purpose  .  This is a code maintenance bill in  
               which the author intends to revise, renumber and repeal  
               sections of the Public Utilities Code which no longer have  
               utility.

              2.   Code Clean-Up  .  The electricity crisis and gaming of the  
               market which occurred in the early 2000s resulted in  
               significant modifications to the market envisioned by AB  
               1890 making these statutes obsolete.  Other code changes  
               eliminate cross-references to the statutes being repealed.
