Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill includes allocations of $501,998 in fiscal year 2020-21 to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for 2 Utility Analyst positions, a Senior Consumer Assistance Specialist position and a Public Service Coordinator II position and associated costs.  The PUC is funded by an assessment set to produce sufficient revenue for the expenditures allocated by the Legislature for operating the PUC.  The increased allocations in this bill require a corresponding increase in revenue from the assessment on transmission and distribution utilities.
