Electricity: transmission planning and permitting.

Summary

The bill changes the law so that California's Public Utilities Commission, Energy Commission, and Independent System Operator must review and revise their joint transmission‑resource planning memorandum every three years instead of every five. This more frequent update is meant to keep coordination aligned with the state’s evolving clean‑energy goals. It affects how state agencies plan and permit new transmission projects needed for renewable and zero‑carbon power.
