Summary
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations, as defined. Existing law authorizes the commission to fix the rates and charges for every public utility, and requires that those rates and charges be just and reasonable. Existing law requires the commission to authorize public utilities to engage in programs to encourage economic development, including rate discounts to industries or business entities whose facilities are, or will be located, within the boundaries of enterprise zones, economic incentive areas, or recycling market development zones. This bill would require the commission to direct and supervise the implementation and administration, by electrical corporations, of an economic development pilot program to encourage new business activity at 3 former military bases. The bill would require an electrical corporation to administer the pilot program for 7 years following its implementation at each former base and would require that the pilot program provide discounted rates that are provided to eligible new and existing businesses and are consistent with discounts offered by economic development programs approved by the commission. The bill would require an electrical corporation to annually report specified information relative to each pilot program site to the commission and require the commission to compile the information and report the results to the Legislature. These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2024. Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime. Because the provisions of this bill are within the act and require action by the commission to implement its requirements, a violation of these provisions would impose a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
