	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2746, Obernolte. Public Utilities Commission: contracts:
electronic submissions.
   Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory
authority over public utilities and can establish its own
procedures, subject to statutory limitations or directions and
constitutional requirements of due process. The Public Utilities Act
requires the commission to establish procedures to permit the
submission of informal complaints through electronic means.
   This bill would require the commission to adopt procedures
authorizing the submittal of electronic signatures and documents by
all parties on contracts involving the commission.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 311.2 is added to the Public Utilities Code, to
read:
   311.2.  The commission shall adopt procedures authorizing the
submittal of electronic signatures and documents by all parties on
contracts involving the commission.
