Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to adopt rules to require a one-time payment from a transmission and distribution utility to a person who constructs an underground electric line extension upon the transfer of ownership of that line to the transmission and distribution utility. Any additional costs to the PUC are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
