	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bradford

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2011

   An act to add and repeal Section 2800 of the Public Utilities
Code, relating to utility service.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 724, as introduced, 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. The bill would
require the commission to include in the report a classification of
mobilehome parks and manufactured housing communities based on the
degree to which the park or community acts as the primary or
permanent residence of those who use the park or community. These
provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2018.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
