Starting with applicants seeking Public Utilities Commission permits, this bill requires them to prepare and pay for environmental impact statements as part of their application process. The bill modifies fee rules so the commission can charge applicants for the actual costs of investigating, reviewing, and processing applications, potentially exceeding the current fee cap if the commission finds those costs were reasonably necessary.
