Under existing law, the Public Service Commission may inspect gas pipeline systems and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities in the state and assess penalties for violations of safety standards.
Under existing law, federal regulations also provide safety standards for such systems and for penalties for violations of safety standards.
This bill would increase the state penalties for violations of the gas pipeline safety standards and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities so that they conform with the federal penalties.
