Summary

Public utility facilities; approval procedures.  Provides that an appeal from a decision of the State Corporation Commission approving or denying the construction and operation of an electrical generating facility not larger than 50 megawatts may proceed by a petition for appeal to the Supreme Court. Currently, parties in interest or aggrieved parties may appeal the Commission's decision as a matter of right. The measure also clarifies that a local governing body may authorize the construction or establishment of a public utility facility or public service corporation facility, and certain other public improvements, prior to the planning commission's determination that the facility is in accord with the comprehensive plan, if the governing body conditions its approval on a finding by the planning commission that it is in substantial accord with the comprehensive plan.
