SB1384 amends the Public Utilities Code to exempt certain electrical transmission facility modifications from requiring a certificate of public.

SB1384 modifies Section 1001 of the Public Utilities Code, exempting the extension, expansion, upgrade, or other modification of existing electrical transmission facilities from needing a certificate of public convenience and necessity. This change applies to transmission lines and substations. The bill maintains the requirement for other public utilities to obtain a certificate before constructing or extending their lines, plants, or systems, unless the extension is within a city or city and county where they have already begun operations.
