	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 724, as amended, Bradford. Electric and gas utility service:
master-meter customers.
   Existing law authorizes the owner of a master-metered mobilehome
park or manufactured housing community that provides gas or electric
service to residents to transfer ownership and operational
responsibility for its gas or electric system to the gas or
electrical corporation providing service in the area in which the
park or community is located, pursuant to specified transfer and cost
allocation procedures.
   This bill would require the Public Utilities Commission, by
February 1, 2012, to open an investigation or other appropriate
proceeding to evaluate  and report to the Legislature, by
July 1, 2013,  when an owner of a mobilehome park or
manufactured housing community that provides master-metered gas or
electric service to its residents of the park or community should be
required to transfer responsibility for gas or electric service to
the gas or electrical corporation providing service in the area in
which the park or community is located, in addition to those plants,
facilities, and interests in real property that the commission, in
consultation with the gas or electrical corporation, determines are
necessary, convenient, or cost effective to provide service. 
These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2018. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
