to public utilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1095, as introduced, Bowen.  Electrical restructuring.
   Existing law governing electrical restructuring authorizes
electrical corporations to apply to the Public Utilities Commission
for an order determining that certain uneconomic costs not be
collected from a particular class of customer or category of
electricity consumption, as prescribed.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in that
provision.
   Vote:  majority.  Appropriation:  no.  Fiscal committee:  no.
State-mandated local program:  no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 373 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to
read:
   373.  (a) Electrical corporations may apply to the commission for
an order determining that the costs identified in Sections 367, 368,
375, and 376 not be collected from a particular class of customer or
category of electricity consumption.
   (b) Subject to the fire wall specified in subdivision (e) of
Section 367,  the provisions of  this section and
Sections 372 and 374 shall apply  in the event  
if  the commission authorizes a nonbypassable charge prior to
the implementation of an Independent System Operator and Power
Exchange referred to in subdivision (a) of Section 365.
