Montoucet (HB 1249) Act No. 848
Existing law requires certain motor carriers and public utilities subject to the control of the
Public Service Commission (commission) to pay fees for the inspection, control, and
supervision of their business service and rates.
Existing law provides that such fees shall be paid quarterly and be in a certain amount per
$1,000 of certain gross receipts, less or in excess of a certain amount or range of such carriers
and utilities.
Prior law provides that the fees paid to the commission shall be $.59 per $1,000 of such gross
receipts in excess of $100 million.
New law increases the fee from $.59 to $.63 and one-half cents.
New law provides that such inspection and supervision fees shall not be applicable to any
nonprofit water utility cooperative or corporation wholly owned by water user members.
