Summary

Would have authorized a State agency to temporarily remove public documents from digital access if a justifiable impediment existed that prevented a State agency from bringing the document into compliance with the State’s accessibility standards.  The bill would have required the Director of Technology to verify that such an impediment prohibited full compliance, and would have required the State agency to cite the reason for the document’s removal and list options and instructions for how to access the document offline.  The bill would have made any document removed after October 14, 2017, subject to these requirements.  Was not heard in the Senate Governmental Organization Committee.

Summary

Authorizes the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to petition a court to appoint a receiver to assume possession of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s property and to operate its electrical and gas systems if the CPUC determines in a proceeding that the appointment of a receiver is warranted pursuant to the processes or procedures set forth in a specified CPUC investigation.  The bill also authorizes a court to appoint such a receiver and would require the receiver to control and operate Pacific Gas and Electric Company upon such terms and conditions as the court prescribes.
