Public Utilities Commission: quorum for the transaction of business.

Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities. The California Constitution provides that the commission consists of 5 members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. Existing law, the Public Utilities Act, provides that a majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum for the transaction of any business, for the performance of any duty, or for the exercise of any power of the commission.
