CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2007–2008 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 185

February 06, 2007

An act to amend Section 2701 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to water companies.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 185, as introduced, Dutton. Public utilities: water companies.
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has jurisdiction over public utilities. Under existing law, a person, firm, or corporation, their leases, trustees, or receivers, owning, controlling, operating, or managing any water system within the state, who sells, leases, rents, or delivers water to any person, firm, corporation, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state, is a public utility subject to regulation by the commission.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 2701 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

2701.
 Any person, firm, or corporation, their lessees, trustees, receivers, or trustees appointed by any court whatsoever, owning, controlling, operating, or managing any water system within this State state, who sells, leases, rents, or delivers water to any person, firm, corporation, municipality, or any other political subdivision of the State state, whether under contract or otherwise, is a public utility, and is subject to the provisions of Part 1 (commencing with Section 201) of Division 1 and to the jurisdiction, control, and regulation of the commission, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
