Arrangement
Bill files are arranged chronologically by legislative session, then numerically by bill number.
Scope and Content Note
Bill files created by the Utilities and Commerce Committee may include bill analyses, amendments and resolutions, author's
statements, testimony, press releases, editorials and newspaper clippings, correspondence, committee statements, and other
information. A videotape has been separated to a cold-storage vault for preservation purposes and a separation sheet is in
the bill file to alert the researcher to the existence of this tape. These files show the close involvement of the committee
in such issues as electrical industry restructuring, baseline energy rates, telecommunications issues (particularly regarding
residential telephone service and Lifeline telephone rates), and Minority, Women and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises.
The majority of the bill files involve the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and its regulation of common carriers and the
telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas industries. From 1995 to 2000 (particularly 1997-1998), a significant portion
of the bills relates to electrical industry restructuring and deregulation. Bills of particular interest include AB 2940 (1995-1996),
and AB 995 (1999-2000), relating to electric restructuring, and AB 818 (1999-2000), relating to the PUC and new area codes.
