Public Utilities Commission: staff offices.
Summary
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities. Existing law requires the office of the commission to be in the City and County of San Francisco. This bill would require the commission to have offices outside of San Francisco, including in Los Angeles and Sacramento. The bill would require the staff of the commission to be allocated among those locations in a way that meets the economic and efficiency requirements of the state, as determined by the Department of Finance.
