Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation requires that cities and counties either approve or reject proposed routs of electric lines by a subsidiary company of an electric membership corporation which would traverse their communities.  These companies currently have the power of eminent domain to condemn right of way and easements for electric lines.  Furthermore, the bill requires that the Georgia Public Service Commission administer binding arbitration, which will be final, on any dispute arising between a local governing authority and said subsidiary company in this regulatory process.
