What it does
The California Constitution establishes the Public Utilities Commission consisting of 5 members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. The constitution authorizes the commission to establish its own procedures, subject to statute and due process, and authorizes a commissioner designated by the commission to hold a hearing or investigation or issue an order, subject to the commission's approval. The constitution also authorizes the commission to fix the rates of all public utilities subject to its jurisdiction.
