Certificates of public convenience and necessity.

Summary

The bill changes the Public Utilities Code so that upgrades or expansions of existing electric transmission lines and substations no longer require a certificate of public convenience and necessity. It also clarifies when other utilities—like railroads, gas, water, and telecom—must obtain such certificates for new construction or extensions. This reduces regulatory steps for routine upgrades while keeping oversight for new projects.
