LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3123, as introduced, Limón. Utilities owned by municipal corporations.
Existing law authorizes a municipal corporation to acquire, construct, own, operate, or lease any public utility and authorizes a municipal corporation to operate a public utility within or without the corporate limits when necessary to supply the municipality, or its inhabitants or any portion thereof, with the service desired. Existing law defines “public utility” for these purposes.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision defining “public utility.”
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO
