Bill > HB2003

This bill amends Section 40-360.03 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which relates to public utilities. The key provisions are: 1) Utilities planning to construct a plant or transmission line in Arizona must first file an application for a certificate of environmental compatibility with the Arizona Corporation Commission. 2) The bill adds a new subsection B that allows utilities to replace conductors or wires on an existing transmission line, or replace existing transmission line structures, without seeking a new certificate of environmental compatibility or holding a hearing, as long as the replacement complies with the terms and conditions of the applicable existing certificate.
