Al Muratsuchi, Assembly District 66 (south Santa Monica Bay, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes) https://a66.asmdc.org/
Failed in Committee, Two-Year Bill
Grid for the future

A spot bill.

Existing law establishes an Independent System Operator (ISO) as a nonprofit public benefit corporation, and requires the ISO to ensure the efficient use and reliable operation of the electrical transmission grid consistent with the achievement of planning and operating reserve criteria, as specified.

This bill would make non-substantive changes to that requirement.
