SB 2722

Amends the Electric Transmission Systems Construction Standards Act. Provides that "construction contractor"" means any non-utility entity (rather than any entity) responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, or repair of electric transmission systems subject to this Act. Excludes from the definition of ""electric transmission systems"" facilities not functionally classified as transmission systems. Makes changes to the definition of ""utility"". Provides that all construction contractors (rather than all utilities and construction contractors) responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, or repair of electric transmission systems shall pay employees performing the construction, installation, maintenance, or repair work of such systems wages and benefits consistent with the Prevailing Wage Act. Provides that, to ensure safety and reliability in the construction, installation, maintenance, and repair of electric transmission systems, each construction contractor (rather than each electric utility and construction contractor) must demonstrate the competence of their employees."
