INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lara

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 10001 of the Public Utilities Code,

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 715, as introduced, Lara. Public utilities: acquisition and
operation.
   Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory
authority over public utilities. Existing law also provides various
provisions regulating the acquisition, operation, and sale of
utilities. Existing law further defines the term "public utility" as
the supply of a municipal corporation, alone or together with its
inhabitants, or any portion thereof, with water, light, heat, power,
sewage collection, treatment, or disposal for sanitary or drainage
purposes, transportation of persons or property, means of
communication, or means of promoting the public convenience.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the
latter provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 10001 of the Public Utilities Code is amended
to read:
   10001.  "Public utility" as used in this article, means the supply
of a municipal corporation alone or together with its inhabitants,
or  any   a  portion thereof, with water,
light, heat, power, sewage collection, treatment, or disposal for
sanitary or drainage purposes, transportation of persons or property,
means of communication, or means of promoting the public
convenience.
