February 14, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 396.5 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to electricity.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 649, as introduced, Dahle.
Community choice aggregators.
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law authorizes a community choice aggregator, as defined, to aggregate the electrical load of interested electricity consumers within its boundaries and requires a community choice aggregator to file an implementation plan with the commission. Existing law requires the governing body of a community choice aggregator to adopt a policy that expressly prohibits the dissemination by the community choice aggregator of any statement relating to the community choice aggregator’s rates or terms and conditions of service that is untrue or misleading, and that is known, or that, by the exercise of reasonable care, should be known to be untrue or misleading.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the
language requiring that the governing body of a community choice aggregator adopt a policy expressly prohibiting dissemination of false information relative to the community choice aggregator’s rates or terms and conditions of service.
