GLOSSARY After January 1, 1998, the California Public Utilities Commission is required by statute (SB 960) to categorize each case that comes before it. There are three categories, quasi- legislative, adjudicatory and ratesetting. If a case does not require hearings before it is resolved, the case is removed from the SB 960 category requirements. The legend below shows the abbreviation for each of the categories and provides a brief explanation. Q Quasi-legislative proceedings are proceedings that establish policy or rules (including generic ratemaking policy or rules) affecting a class of regulated entities, including those proceedings in which the Commission investigates rates or practices for an entire regulated industry or class of entities within the industry. A Adjudicatory proceedings are: (1) enforcement investigations into possible violations of any provision of statutory law or order or rule of the Commission; and (2) complaints against regulated entities, including those complaints that challenge the accuracy of a bill, but excluding those complaints that challenge the reasonableness of rates or charges, past, present, or future. RS Ratesetting proceedings are proceedings in which the Commission sets or investigates rates for a specifically named utility (or utilities), or establishes a mechanism that in turn sets the rates for a specifically named utility (or utilities). Ratesetting proceedings include complaints that challenge the reasonableness of rates or charges, past, present, or future. N/A Removed from the SB 960 category requirements.
