Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law prohibits gas corporations, electrical corporations, telegraph corporations, telephone corporations, water corporations, sewer system corporations, and certain railroad corporations from beginning construction of a street railroad, line, plant, or system without having first obtained from the Public Utilities Commission a certificate that the present or future public convenience and necessity requires or will require the construction, as specified.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
