SB211 speeds up the notification timeline for people living near proposed utility facilities by reducing the notice period from thirty days to ten days after an application is filed. The bill also clarifies that the Public Utilities Commission can deny or return applications for material misstatements, incomplete filings, or non-compliance with state law, and standardizes some language in the notification requirements to ensure applicants mail notices by certified mail and include meeting details.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
