Certificates of public convenience and necessity.
Summary
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.
