SB 708 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public Utilities Commission: quorum for the transaction of business.

Summary

Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities. The California Constitution provides that the commission consists of 5 members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. Existing law, the Public Utilities Act, provides that a majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum for the transaction of any business, for the performance of any duty, or for the exercise of any power of the commission. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions.

The actual bill text and legislative counsel's digest are identical in both.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a traditional printed legislative layout (with line numbers and page headers) to a web page rendering that includes site navigation, search tools, and metadata fields. No changes to the bill's substantive language were made.
