Assembly Bill
No. 429


Introduced by Assembly Member Bennett

February 06, 2023


An act to amend Section 591 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to energy.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 429, as introduced, Bennett. Energy: notification of redirection of moneys authorized for maintenance, safety, or reliability.
Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law requires electrical corporations and gas corporations to annually notify the commission, as part of an ongoing proceeding or in a report otherwise required to be submitted to the commission, of each time that capital or expense revenue authorized by the commission for maintenance, safety, or reliability was redirected by the electrical corporation or gas corporation to other purposes. Existing law requires the commission to ensure that the notification is also made available in a timely fashion to the Office of the Safety Advocate, the Public Advocate’s Office of the Public Utilities Commission, and parties on the service list of any relevant proceeding.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those requirements.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 591 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

591.
 (a) The commission shall require an each electrical corporation or gas corporation to annually notify the commission, as part of an ongoing proceeding or in a report otherwise required to be submitted to the commission, of each time since that notification was last provided that capital or expense revenue authorized by the commission for maintenance, safety, or reliability was redirected by the electrical corporation or gas corporation to other purposes.
