Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill restricts other entities' ownership or control of a public utility if the Public Utilities Commission determines that those entities have provided significant support or assistance to an organization designated as a foreign terrorist organization.  The PUC has indicated that if these criteria are triggered, contracted services will be required to assist in the investigation and adjudicatory proceeding.  The PUC estimates this cost would require additional Other Special Revenue Funds allocations of $250,000 if these proceedings are initiated.  These costs may be offset by the filing fees collected by the PUC.
