The California Constitution establishes the Public Utilities Commission, with jurisdiction over all public utilities. The California Constitution grants the commission certain general powers over public utilities, subject to control by the Legislature, and authorizes the Legislature, unlimited by the other provisions of the California Constitution, to confer on the commission additional authority and jurisdiction.
The Public Utilities Act contains laws directing the commission’s regulation of public utilities.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the law naming the act.
