Summary
The bill would require electric suppliers to obtain board approval before constructing or acquiring transmission lines that carry more than 700 volts, with several narrow exemptions. It also would prohibit private companies and other non‑governmental groups from operating, maintaining, building, or buying any such high‑voltage lines, and adds a notice requirement for projects near military bases to certify no foreign‑adversary components. The measure targets control of the state’s high‑voltage electricity infrastructure.
