Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities. The California Constitution provides that the commission consists of 5 members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. Existing law, the Public Utilities Act, provides that a majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum for the transaction of any business, for the performance of any duty, or for the exercise of any power of the commission.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
