Bill overview
This bill clarifies the rules for when the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) can hold meetings and make decisions. Currently, a simple majority of the PUC commissioners is considered a quorum, meaning they have the authority to conduct business. This bill makes a minor change to reinforce that a majority is sufficient for all commission activities, including investigations and hearings. It also outlines the process for administrative law judges to assist in these proceedings.
