Certificates of public convenience and necessity.
Existing law prohibits gas corporations, electrical corporations, telegraph corporations, telephone corporations, water corporations, sewer system corporations, and certain railroad corporations from beginning construction of a street railroad, line, plant, or system without having first obtained from the Public Utilities Commission a certificate that the present or future public convenience and necessity requires or will require the construction, as specified. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
